I did a thesis on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) using Cognitive Psychology and Activity Theory as a background. Cognitive Science fascinates me but I have little experience with it. At the moment I'm a PhD student at the IT University of Copenhagen, at the PIT lab studying HCI, but I mainly have a software development background.

In 2007 I got my bachelor degree in applied informatics in Belgium. Immediately after, I started working at the company where I did my internship, AIM Productions. I liked the work and colleagues at the company too much to give up entirely for further studies, so I decided to combine the two. In 2009 I started studying for my master in Game and Media Technology at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and I graduated in 2012.

21h	revised	Getting started with EEG data Got rid of some unnecessary stuff.
May 13	revised	Are there any free databases of audio-visual emotional stimuli (English)? Removed redundant question, slightly better markup.
May 7	comment	What Quantified Self reserach tools are there for measuring performance while playing videogames? Possible duplicate? cogsci.stackexchange.com/q/20/21
Mar 31	comment	Is happiness a result of cognitive or a side effect of neurobiological processes? As @BenCole pointed out, there are at least two questions in here which could be split up. Since this question didn't attract any answers over a long period of time, I've closed the question until done so. I do feel they can be good questions on their own, but a possible reason nobody answered so far is the scope is too broad.
Mar 29	comment	Autism: Social Skills: Body Language and Facial Expressions Welcome to CogSci, as you might have noticed your question didn't get much response. This is likely due to the fact that you didn't do any initial research yourself to show what you already found out. If you update your question with some details of what you can find out on your own first, the question can be reopened. Give us some more details to work with. ;p
Mar 24	comment	Images on personal computers - Which aspect of size to keep constant? Just a thought here, (2) would be possible, if you introduce a setup step somewhere before the test. If you create a fully scalable user interface, you could ask users initially to scale the interface to the size of e.g. a standardized dice, or just use a ruler.
Mar 18	comment	EEG correlates of handedness Could you please provide a full link to the paper? See this meta post to see how to add a reference list at the end of your post.
Mar 16	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on Is there a name for the tendency to use proper nouns often in conversation?
Mar 8	comment	Is fear rational? I do see you are new to Stack Exchange, so don't feel offended by this. I advise you to read through the faq properly to better understand what is expected of you when asking a question here.
Mar 8	comment	Is fear rational? I closed the question as "Not A Real Question" instead of suggested by @what as Off Topic. It might be on topic but it's way too vague, and you leave it up to the answerer to guess what you are referring too. Additionally there is no background research whatsoever. You can still update your question to address these issues.
Mar 1	awarded	Notable Question
Feb 25	revised	Why are most people right handed? Added DOI links.
Feb 18	awarded	Investor
Feb 18	revised	Does an exceptional working memory inhibit intelligence? Improved reference to article.
Feb 12	revised	What does hemispatial neglect vision look like? Improved title.
Feb 12	comment	Are there cognitive benefits to two hand typing versus one finger? Interesting references, but this is the more 'obvious' answer I suppose. :) What about the relation to the comments made about juggling?
Feb 12	comment	Can the Philosophy thought game “The experience machine” be answered by Positive Psychology? Interesting question! You mention in Positive Psychology it has been shown the baseline can be raised or lowered. Doesn't that relate to some of your questions? In what way does the research you do know about fall short?
Feb 1	revised	What is the effect of high expectations on long-term happiness? Added relevant links, improved spelling/formatting.
Jan 30	revised	Is there sub-conscious error correction in interpreting heard language? Added tags, stressed actual question.
Jan 30	comment	Is there a lot of redundancy in written and spoken language? Well, for now I did it for you ... Remember it the next time you ask a question. ;p It will get you clearer/narrowed down answers.
