My research covers cognitive neuroscience in children and adolescents with (ADHD, dyslexia) and without (neuro)developmental diagnoses, and neuroscience-based interventions (neurofeedback). For these purposes, I utilize the latest developments in EEG methods (e.g. source-reconstruction, intra- and inter-brain connectivity analysis, real-world neuroscience, mobile EEG). In addition, I investigate how motivation for learning develops during critical transition periods, and how to positively influence motivation and school outcomes, using Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT).
As teacher I strive to inspire students, and stimulate critical thinking. I coordinate the first-year bachelor course Developmental Psychology and Psychopathology, and the M-thesis Clinical Developmental Psychology. In addition, I lecture for various bachelor, master, and research-master courses, such as Evidence-based Interventions, Current Issues, Neuroscience and Eduction, Mind, Brain & Education, and Practical I.
