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.

10m	comment	the role of personality in moderating the process of stress Hi Angie. Stack Exchange doesn't follow the traditional 'forum' model. Each 'post' is a question with answers. Could you please update your previous question this is related to reflecting the things you posted here, and in case you want to start some sort of discussion, use the 'comments' underneath that post? After you have done this I will delete this post.
50m	comment	Does not practicing the brain erode its power? Oh right, you don't have enough rep for that yet. Here have another up vote to fix that. ;p Short 'keyword' answers are fine when answering such broad questions. In depth answers are only really expected when the question shows more effort and is more specific as well.
1h	comment	Predicting the landing site of a saccade while the saccade is still in progress I don't know anything about this topic, but recently during a presentation at work I heard mentioning that they can predict landing sites to some degree while the saccade is in progress. They were using this technique during an experiment. Definitely an interesting question!
1h	comment	How does Personality moderate the process of stress and burnout? Welcome to CogSci! We expect some degree of initial research prior to phrasing a question so that people answering it have an easier time answering exactly which part you don't get/want to know more about. Try looking into the subject shortly yourself and please update your question reflecting your research, along with any open questions you might have.
1h	comment	Does not practicing the brain erode its power? Welcome to CogSci Shayna. The content of your answer (although I can't verify its correctness) seems good enough for the posed question. I reformatted it to leave out any of the unnecessary comments you made in there and edited in your more relevant comment. Leave comments as a comment and the answer in the answer. ;p Thanks!

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 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.
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?
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.
Jan 30	comment	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.
Jan 29	comment	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).
Jan 29	comment	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?
Jan 29	comment	Is there a lot of redundancy in written and spoken language? @timquinn Could you please add that extra relevant information into your question if it turns out to be the book you are talking about, also providing a link to it? Thank you.
