I am interested in the effects of acute bouts of endurance sports on brain activity and cognitive performance, measured with mobile EEG and experimental-psychological paradigms.
In times of our society becoming increasingly older and less active it is crucial to find easy-to-realize factors promoting long term brain health (like physical exercise). In my PhD, I plan to not only investigate effects of different types of sports on the brain, but also to develop new technologies that enable us to measure brain activity in extreme situations, as for example in swimming.
Like this, I aim to describe potential modulations of brain activity during active sports engagement and to connect them to changes on a behavioural level.

Next to seminars about general psychology at the department of education, I give the Computer-controlled experimentation class. Until 2023, we used the software Presentation; starting in 2024, we will be using PsychoPy. Further, I supervise Practical Projects and Masters Theses within the M.Sc. Neurocognitive Psychology programme.
