My research focused on the neural basis of cognitive control and intentional action, how task-relevant information is represented in the brain, and how such representations change under varying demands. To investigate these issues, I combined functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), machine learning tools such as multivariate decoding and representational similarity analysis, and computational modelling techniques.
I also have a keen interest in laypeople’s views on free will (“Do you think free will exists?”), whether (dis)believing in free will affects our behavior, and how beliefs and attitudes towards free will are related.
I firmly believe in open and reproducible science, and in my quest to live up to these ideals I made my research process as transparent as I can, and shared the data and code I produced (some of which you can find here).
