  Researcher Neuroscience (postdoctoral)

  Our inner space – the brain – is fascinating. I am currently investigating how predictive models enable us to optimally interact with our environment by planning ahead – a human skill that has led to the profound evolutionary success of our species.My goal is to identify which types of brain activity are related to these processes, using a variety of brain imaging techniques (MEG, EEG, MRI) as well as genetic tools and computer simulations.- Scientific project management- Experiment conception, complex data analysis, statistics- Managing and leading groups (BSc/MSc/PhD students)- Teaching and lecturing Show less
