PhD Candidate in Cognitive Neuroscience

Technology / Software / Internet

I have a background in both neuropsychology (BSc) and phenomenology/philosophy of mind (MA) and am currently working on a PhD in cognitive neuroscience with the Interacting Minds group in Århus, Denmark. My PhD is focused on what I call 'Cognitive Neuroplasticity'- i.e. the relation between structural neural plasticity, functional brain activity, and cognition. Specifically, I am investigating experience related changes resulting from various forms of intensive behavioral training- meditation, and digitally-mediated social interaction- using between-subjects fMRI analysis.
