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.

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? |

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? |

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. |

Is there a lot of redundancy in written and spoken language? Focused question on how most people interpreted it by narrowing scope. |

Is there a lot of redundancy in written and spoken language? @timquinn You partially got this answer because you didn't phrase your question that clearly. Where I interpreted the 'speculation' of the usefulness in noisy environments to be an important aspect, others did not. Remember, keep your questions concise, focused and clear. To better differentiate from your newly asked question, please update this one. |

Is there a lot of redundancy in written and spoken language? It would also be interesting to see whether any work is done on the redundancy of spoken English. It probably better reflects realistic scenarios in which the speculation makes sense (noisy environments). |

Are ambidextrous people better at multitasking? Where have you heard this? Did you look for additional information yourself prior to posting this? What did you find? What do you interpret to be a more 'developed' brain? |

What is the definition of pathology? @LitheOhm, I incorporated the question and dictionary.com link a bit better into your question. You can always roll back if I misrepresented the intent of them. |
