My Research

In my research I mainly focus on human neuroscience. From starting as a research assistant and intern, through my time as a PhD candidate, and now in my post-doc time, I have studied a variety of different topics. They all have in common that I wanted to learn how the brain is linked to a specific function or behavior.

During my internship at Emory University in Atlanta, I studied the interaction between the motor cortex of the right and left hemisphere. I also got the chance to learn more about clinical research with stroke patients. Then, during my PhD I looked at more cognitive aspects of the brain. Specifically, the way in which we learn and make decisions. In my first post doc period I studied the visual cortex and how we perceive the world around us. And now in my current post doc, I look at more methodological aspects of the brain stimulation techniques that more or less were a part of all my previous endeavors. 

In this section you will find a list of my publications, collaborators and a summary of all my research studies. Also, you will find a short overview of a variety of neuroscience methods that I have used
