About
I am a cognitive neuroscientist, working on the interaction between social cognitive processes on the one hand, and conscious and unconscious perception on the other. I am primarily interested in how 'hot cognition' (mood, emotion, attitudes) shapes our conscious perception of the world, by means of top-down modulation and attentional filtering of sensory input. To study these processes, I use neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, EEG, and TMS in addition to behavioural experiments.
Apart from basic science, I am also working on applied problems, in particular the detection of deception in still images and movie clips of interrogations. This work is funded by the Foundation for Police and Science, an affiliate of the Dutch Police Academy.
Together with Dr Elkan Akyurek, and Dr Mark Nieuwenstein, I am in the Heymans Vision and Cognition Lab; moreover I am a member of Prof Addie Johnson's Human Performance and Ergonomics Lab.
