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.

comment Is there any study that models the interaction among assertive, passive, aggressive and passive-aggressive people?
@Fabio A. It might be worthwhile editing that (and any other relevant info) into your question. If you've already done the background reading, pinpoint exactly where you are stuck and why what you already found didn't answer your question.

comment What is the effect of imagining doing an exercise on muscle growth?
Well for starters what do they say that 'improves'? Maybe quote where you read that. How do they measure improvement?

@Spundun: Well it might already be too late now since you've gotten a good answer, but here are some tips for next time. As BenCole pointed out, it wouldn't have been too difficult finding the term tinnitus yourself with a bit of initial research. This could have lead you to asking one specific question and focus on that instead of the various slightly related ones you asked now.

comment What is the scientific support for Einstein's claim about the negative effects of reading too much?
Isn't "too" always implying it is bad? Otherwise it wouldn't be "too".

comment Validity of regression therapy and degree of acceptance of the subject within the psychology community
Welcome to CogSci Aneesh! I think this is a good question, but in general we expect a degree of initial research. What do you know about the subject? Which resources that you know of support your assumptions? (also link to them) Please read 'how-to-ask' carefully.

Consider merging this with your other answer instead. However, much thanks for following up on your question!

Your link to 'considerable nervous system' doesn't work for me. Consider updating it in line with our site guidelines as I've demonstrated for the other reference. Great answer! +1
