I am a neuroscientist interested into the mechanisms that drive perception and perceptual inference in health and disease. Specifically, I think that the predictive processes underlying these capabilities are revealing about the neurophysiology that effects many neuropsychiatric conditions.

I recently obtained a 4-year grant to devote my PhD project to perceptual processing in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I will be focussing on how the prior experience in individuals with ASD helps to guide perception, and how this might contribute to the markedly different sensory experience that many individuals with ASD have.

At present, I am working at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging in the lab of Floris De Lange. We use fMRI and MEG to study predictive mechanisms during perception. Previously, I also worked on electrophysiological mechanisms behind attention and communication.

I am a great fan of good fiction, culinary, and the good life. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
