Research
An important aspect of the decision making process is the ability to learn from the outcome of previous experiences: reinforcement learning. The focus of my PhD project is on the collaboration and communication between cortical and subcortical brain areas underlying reinforcement learning. The relationship between functional and structural connectivity is studied in healthy young and older adults using EEG and MEG (oscillatory synchrony), DTI and fMRI. This project is funded by Dr. Cohen's VIDI grant and part of the SINCS lab (Synchrony In Neural and Cognitive Systems).
Bio
Irene van de Vijver graduated cum laude from the Psychonomics Master at the University of Amsterdam in 2008 with a master thesis on the effects of positive affect and caffeine on decision-making in young andelderly adults. During and after her study she worked as a research assistant at ACACia (Amsterdam Center for the study of Adaptive Control in brain and behavior), the lab of professor Ridderinkhof. In april 2010 she started her PhD project under supervision of dr. Mike Cohen and prof. dr. Richard Ridderinkhof.
