We are an enthusiastic international research team part of the Department of Clinical Neuropsychology, University of Groningen, the Netherlands headed by Prof. Dr. Oliver Tucha and associated to the Research School of Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences.
PhD-students
|
Francisco is a psychiatrist who takes part in a joint Ph.D. program at the University of Groningen and the National University of Mexico (UNAM). In his research line, we study the neural basis of executive (dys)function and behavioral symptoms in mild
cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, using advanced MRI and EEG methods. He is furthermore a fellow of Alzheimer Nederland. |
|
|
Diede takes part in the research master program Behavioural and Social Sciences at the University of Groningen. In her research line, we investigate the effects of neurofeedback on cognition. In September 2018 she will extend her project as a PhD student to assess this training approach as a therapeutic tool.

Research assistants
Msc. Rutger Stegeman
|
Rutger is a psychologist and studied Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Groningen. He graduated on the topic inhibition and the frontal parietal network in schizophrenia. In our team he is involved in the neurofeedback study and researches furthermore into mild cognitive impairment. He is interested in neuropsychological testing and in the integration of scientific research and clinical practice.

Student assistants & trainees
Aljosha is currently finishing his bachelor program in psychology at the University of Groningen and is eager to become a clinical neuropsychologist. His research goal is to elucidate neurofunctional causes of diseases. He is thereby interested in statistical procedures, experimental designs, and intervention strategies.
|
Lenka takes part in the Behavioural and Social Sciences Research Master in Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Groningen. She investigates the relationship between EEG oscillations and executive dysfunctions in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Lenka is also interested in the question on how to apply artificial intelligence in neuropsychology. |
Simin is a research master student in the Behavioral and Social Sciences program at the University of Groningen. She is currently on a research stay in San Diego in the US where she studies the effects of 1/f neural noise on aging and cognitive/emotional processing as well as the influence of waveform shape as a potential marker of pathology.
|
Josephien takes part in the clinical neuropsychology track of the Research Master program Behavioral and Social Sciences at the University of Groningen. She is interested in executive (dys)functions and decision-making in daily life. |
Hanneke successfully finished her bachelor program in psychology at the University of Groningen on the topic of Stigma caused by behavioural characteristics of ADHD. She is fascinated by the mind and the brain and will start with the master clinical neuropsychology in September. She is especially interested in rehabilitation in brain injury and in executive (dys)functions. She is currently involved in the neurofeedback study and will take part in the research into mild cognitive impairment.
|
Mengxi successfully finished her Clinical Neuropsychology master program at the University of Groningen on the topic of neural correlates of inter-individual differences in executive functions assessed with fMRI. In our team she is involved in EEG analysis, as well as in meta-analytic work on the association of brain oscillations and executive dysfunctions.
|
Manouche Bösterling
Manouche-Isabell is currently finishing her Master of Clinical Psychology at the University of Groningen. She is interested in resilience research, as she investigates emotion control and cognitive control in the context of healthy aging (EEG/ theta oscillations/time frequency analysis). Further fields of her interest are neurofeedback in clinical practice, neural correlates of sexuality, test construction and research by MAPS.
|
Marloes is enrolled in the Master program of the Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Groningen. In her master thesis she investigates cognitive and emotional control and the effect of lifestyle in healthy aging. She furthermore works in a project on mild cognitive impairment at the UMCG. Her fields of interests are the aging brain, rehabilitation in brain injury and schizophrenia.
