I am a Neuroscience and Cognition Master’s graduate from Utrecht University. During my studies, I focused on both experimental and clinical neuroscience research. I conducted a study on how environmental factors and socioeconomic status shape early brain development in preterm infants, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with behavioural and cognitive measures. Additionally, I conducted a project examining the longitudinal reliability of electroencephalography (EEG) and cognitive performance, contributing to research on the impact of incarceration on inmates’ cognitive functioning. Subsequently, I explored machine learning approaches applied to EEG data, with the aim of translating βindings into real-time applications in hospital settings. Currently, my research focuses on the plasticity of the bodily self, with an emphasis on its neural dynamics and the role of interoceptive processing in clinical populations, particularly individuals with anorexia nervosa, using behavioural paradigms, EEG, and immersive virtual reality. In parallel, I investigate dissociative experiences.
