I am a researcher interested in how the brain can track temporal information and uses temporal dynamics to organize neuronal communication. I have a Master Degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Maastricht University. During my PhD (2012-2016) I have studied how rhythm and temporal information is used to optimize perception. I used primarily EEG, but also MEG and ECoG. I found that on the one hand we use temporal structure to optimally predict when something is going to happen. The brain pro-actively uses this temporal structure to adapt processing. However, temporal information also provides information about the exact content of information, that is temporal information does not only provide cues for when, but also for what. During my first postdoctoral position (2016-2019) I have dived deeper into fundamental principles of storing information that might have a temporal context. How can the brain track continuously incoming information but use the same temporal dimension to code information? In my second postdoc (2020-2022), my research focusses on the integration of temporal information in the context of language. Currenlty, I am head the Temporal Dynamics group and assistant professor at Maastricht University.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Temporal Dynamics Lab. My current research focuses on computational modeling of oscillatory mechanisms that describe inter-area brain communication. Specifically, I am interested in how the sensory cortex can optimally couple with both sensory input and frontal feedback. With a background in Electrical Engineering, I obtained my master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Maastricht University. In 2023, I received my PhD degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Rainer Goebel and Dr. Mario Senden. My PhD research primarily focused on mapping the visual cortex using efficient computational methods and models. Additionally, I am keenly drawn to data-driven discovery of models and dynamics that can provide new insights into the functioning of the brain.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Temporal Dynamics Lab with a keen interest in rhythms associated with Human perception. After a Bachelor of Biology, Animal Physiology and Neuroscience obtained at Université de Montpellier (France), I did a master (at Ecole Normale Supérieure, Université Paris Cité, École des Hautes études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, France) followed by a PhD in Cognitive Science (at Université Paris Cité) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Laura Dugué. With expertise in neuroimaging (EEG, TMS, MRI) and psychophysics including dense sampling technique, my research has mainly focused on brain and behavioral spatio-temporal dynamics. During my Post Doc at Maastricht University, I will work on the relation between brain phases and behavioral performance. I plan to use real-time brain stimulation to investigate the causal role of brain activity on perception.
I am a PhD candidate at the Temporal Dynamics Lab and the Brain Stimulation and Cognition Lab at Maastricht University under supervision of Sanne ten Oever, Felix Duecker and Alexander Sack. I have a background in Biomedical Sciences and a master's degree specialising in Neuromodulation techniques. In my PhD, I focus on using multimodal neuroimaging (fMRI and EEG) and brain stimulation (TMS) to investigate phase-dependent representations in visual working memory.
As a Cognitive Neuroscience PhD candidate, I investigate the timing of neural interactions between sensory and frontal areas during perception. Using oscillatory electric stimulation (tACS), I aim to modulate neuronal temporal dynamics and record resulting patterns (EEG). My focus is on demonstrating neural entrainment during online and offline tACS stimulation and establishing a closed-loop tACS-EEG system. Previously, I obtained my Master's in Cognitive Neuroscience from Radboud University (2021-2023) and gained practical experience as a research assistant at the Donders Institute (2023-2024), where I implemented various stimulation and recording techniques (TMS, TUS, MRI, MEG, EEG).
I am a PhD candidate at the Temporal Dynamics Lab. My research interests particularly lie in temporal memory processes. Presently, I am working on a project investigating the theta-gamma neuronal code and associative memory by using a closed-loop EEG system. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree in psychology has shaped my fascination for Cognitive Neuroscience. Building upon this foundation, I pursued a Master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience at Maastricht University, which is known for its problem-based learning. This approach gave me the opportunity to collaborate with others and to develop a solution-oriented, while at the same time critical mindset.
I am a student enrolled in the Master's program of Biomedical Sciences at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, specializing in neuromodulation. I am currently doing a research internship within the Department of Cognitive Neuroscience, where my focus is on investigating the effects of amplitude-modulated transcranial alternating current stimulation (AM-tACS) on the oscillatory coupling mechanism in the human brain. My academic journey led me here after successfully completing the University Foundation Program (UFP) at the Bell School in Cambridge. Seeking an international educational experience, I found Maastricht University to be an ideal fit, given its commitment to problem-based learning (PBL). This approach has equipped me with the skills to work collaboratively and independently, fostering critical thinking.
