Assistant Professor at Leiden University, the Netherlands. Interested in novelty, memory and attention.
Vacancy alert! Prof. Ineke van der Ham and I are looking for a post-doc (from early 2026 on). For this project we aim to investigate why some individuals often get lost: a condition recently coined atopia. The project involves behavioral, eye tracking and potentially fMRI. See dewegkwijt.com

Elke schooldag staat leren centraal. Gek eigenlijk dat er geen vakken zijn die je leren hoe je dit het beste aanpakt. In een nieuwe Klokhuis-aflevering geven Erik Scherder (vanaf een sportveld) en ik (vanuit onze Sylvius VR labs) tips om je te leren leren: hetklokhuis.nl/tv-uitzendin...

🌶️ Hot from the press: Paper on the effects of novelty on memory in Applied Cognitive Psychology.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
🗝️ Key takeaways:
- Memory for weakly encoded events is boosted by explorin a novel environment.
- The link between novelty and memory complex.

I’m excited about this collaborative project by @sunw37.bsky.social, @johanwinn.bsky.social, and many other talented contributors. Read about how our @hhmijanelia.bsky.social team imaged thousands of neurons in mouse hippocampus as mice learned cognitive tasks over several days: hhmi.news/4hXIp7r

AI advancements are rapid.The question is not if, but rather how and when AI will be adopted in education. Promoting critical thinking in our students should be our main focus, before the dead internet theory becomes a reality.

In a recent article in BBS Murayama and
Jach suggest that we should unpack the black box and look at motivated behavior as the outcome of mental computational processes. Franz Wurm, Ineke van der Ham and I believe that this approach is too limited: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Paper alert!
In our new paper "Towards a characterization of human spatial exploration behavior" in BRM, we introduce a novel, fine-grained approach to analyse 3D exploration behavior.
We tested our method in a sample of n >400, and validated it on the Silcton dataset.

I am devastated to share the news that Professor Eleanor Maguire has died at the age of 51 after 3 operations and proton beam therapy for a spinal tumour. She was internationally renowned for her work on navigation, episodic memory and brain plasticity. #neuroscience #psychology

Together with Ineke van der Ham, Jos van der Hage, and Angus Mol, we received a Grassfields grant to create a 3D-learning platform called SpatialMind to promote spatial abilities!
🧠
We are still looking for a researcher for this project. Let me know if you are interested!
