People

Current and former lab members @ VSS 2017, left to right: Andrea, Rosanne, Jasper, Janneke, Andrey, Peter, Ilona, Ruben, Laura and Juraj


Janneke Jehee

The lab is headed by Dr. Janneke Jehee. Janneke is a PI (Principal Investigator) at the Donders Institute. Before joining Donders, she worked as a postdoc in the United States (Vanderbilt University & Center for Visual Science, University of Rochester). She received her PhD from Amsterdam University. Here is her CV.


Ilona Bloem

IloBloe

Ilona is a postdoc. She splits her time between our lab and the Spinoza Centre in Amsterdam, where she works with Serge Dumoulin. She received her PhD from Boston University, working with Sam Ling, and did postdoctoral research at New York University, with Jonathan Winawer and Mike Landy. Ilona’s research in the lab focuses on the representation of spatial information in visual cortex, and she is particularly interested in how attention interacts with the precision of these representations. 


James Cooke

James is a postdoc in the lab. He received his PhD in 2019 from Radboud University Nijmegen, working with Pieter Medendorp on Bayesian models of perceptual behavior. In line with his previous work, James’s current research focuses on uncertainty, particularly its representation in the brain and the influence it has on behavior. His other research interests include machine learning, motor control in humans and robots, and adaptive approaches to experiment design. Outside of the lab he enjoys bouldering, reading, and cooking.


Yuxuan Dai

YuxDai

Yuxuan is a PhD student in the lab. She did her master’s in Cognitive Neuroscience with Peter Kok at University College London before joining the lab. Her current research focuses on the representation of uncertainty in cortex. Outside the lab, Yuxuan is a hardcore Sci-Fi fan who also enjoys traveling.


Rodrigo Raimundo-Ramos

Rodrigo is a PhD student in the lab, looking at the relationship between uncertainty and decision confidence. He first worked with Bayesian models with Paul Bays at the University of Cambridge during his undergraduate project and then as a research assistant, before doing a master's with Chris Kent at the University of Bristol. Outside of the lab he enjoys programming, bouldering, and playing guitar!


Thomas Hawkins

Tom is a PhD student in the lab. He received his Masters by Research in Psychology from the University of Bristol, under the supervision of Edwin Dalmaijer. His research involves developing new techniques for measuring perceptual uncertainty from brain signals. Outside of the lab, Tom enjoys live music and exploring nature.
