Biography
I am a professor of cognitive neuroscience, and lead the Timing Lab at Queensland University of Technology.The lab investigates time in the brain, from a neural, cognitive, and behavioural perspective. We use computational methods and neuroimaging techniques, particularly multivariate EEG decoding, as well as psychophysical and behavioural approaches, to study how the brain works over time. We investigate questions such as how time is encoded in the brain, and how the brain keeps track of time. We are especially interested in how the brain solves the computational problems that result from the brain itself needing time to process information.
I previously worked as a researcher at University College London (London, UK) and the Harvard Vision Sciences Laboratory (Cambridge, MA, USA), before completing a PhD in neuroscience at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I worked at Utrecht University as an Assistant Professor for 7 years, before relocating to the University of Melbourne to take up a research-focused position and start the Timing Lab.
I was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council in 2020 and moved to Brisbane, where I am currently investigating how the brain generates the real-time conscious experience of the world that we all take for granted.

Experience
In addition to my scientific research, I love engaging with the real world, and sharing how interesting and sometimes bizarre our brains really are. I have written popular science articles (e.g. the Conversation), worked on different science TV programs (e.g. Scope), and presented at TEDxUtrechtUniversity. For more examples of my outreach work, please visit the lab website: timinglab.org.
I also provide executive education, where I apply fundamental scientific knowledge from neuroscience and psychology to help participants understand the roots of human behaviour: why we are wired to do what we do.
