Computational Synchrony Model of Cogntive Control

Verguts lab, University of Ghent, 2019 - 2020

[Still in Progress], Implementing flexibility mechanically has been a key computational issue in the cognitive control literature. To achieve this, Verguts (2017) developed a model of cognitive control based on oscillatory mechanisms. This model employs “binding by random bursts”, a combination of two principles, namely, communication-through-coherence and noise-induced synchronization. The aim of this project is to test whether oscillatory mechanisms responsible for connecting relevant representations also induce oscillations in behavioral performance.

Description-Experience Gap: Animals and Humans

Erlich lab, New York University Shanghai, 2019 - 2020

[Still in Progress], The aim of this study is to investigate similarities and differences in decsion-making across species. For this we developed a risk-non-verbal task, adapted from Lukinova et al. (2019) delay non-verbal task and mirrors the training procedure used with rodents in the Erlich’s lab.

CodeCity: Basics of Programming

Volunteer Workshop, Elementary School OLV Visitatie, 2018

CodeCity is an initiative from the city of Ghent and Digipolis to help children to get acquainted with coding and computational thinking. During this workshop, I coached 67 children to playfully learn the basics of programming.

Decision-making: but first ask for coffee

Volunteer Workshop, University of Ghent, The Foundry, 2018

Was the first workshop given by the Deducation team, a learning and development (L&D) student initiative. In this workshop we gave young professionals the change to participate in learning about decision-making techniques using digital skills.
