I’m a cognitive neuroscientist working as a junior PI (principal investigator) at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
The focus of my newly established group (Prediction and Attention) is to examine how cognition and behaviour is shaped by predictions. Prediction is essential for virtually all aspects of human cognition: we are continuously anticipating what we will hear, see, and feel next. Examples of prediction can be seen in many domains like motor control (e.g. catching a ball), language (e.g. resolving ambiguity in the speech signal) and visual perception (e.g. recognizing the cat behind the tree). However, it is still largely unknown how the brain implements these predictive mechanisms. Using behavioural and neuroimaging methods (MEG, fMRI, TMS) I investigate how predictions influence visual perception and inference.
