I am a software engineer, mother, lover of science, music, boardgames, learning, reading, climbing, and hiking, and occasionally fancy myself an artist. Some of those things I get to enjoy much more often than others. Above video is a work in process. Butterfly drawing is by me, refined in photoshop, partly animated in 3ds Max, final composition and flying in Panda3d.

I grew up in the Netherlands, where I obtained an MSc and PhD in Computer Science at University of Groningen. From 2009-2012, I worked as a postdoctoral associate in the Ma Lab. Which at the time was located at the Baylor College of Medicine. Since January 2013, I am a research associate in the sensorimotor learning lab of Daniel Wolpert. At the University of Cambridge. For more information on my work. You can find a copy of my CV.

In my laboratory, we investigate the neural circuits underlying decision-making. We use carefully designed paradigms that encourage experimental subjects to deliberate over incoming sensory evidence before making a decision. We develop behavioral paradigms to study decision-making, and measure and manipulate neurons during those decisions. Our long term goal is to understand how the brain can make decisions that integrate inputs from our multiple senses, stored memories and innate impulses.

Of the Grossman Center for the Statistics of Mind is to better understand the brain by applying quantitative methods to uncover deep and meaningful structure in large neural datasets. John Cunningham was recently named a Sloan Research Fellow.
