Biography
I’m interested in the sensorimotor system and human connection. I'm curious how the brain learns the connection between movement and perception. When you first learn to speak or play a musical instrument, you need to learn which movement results in which sound: a sensorimotor map. Once learned, these maps form the basis of the remarkable and ancient skill of playing music. Playing music helps foster tight bonds between humans and I’m interested in how we can use music as a tool for social integration, to bring about a world with more understanding between people.
I'm assistant professor at the psychology department of Université de Montréal. I was born several meters below sea level in the Netherlands and studied in exotic places such as Paris, Pisa, Los Angeles, Hanover and Lyon. I originally did mathematics but then retooled to become a cognitive scientist and theoretical linguist and I also worked on neurorehabilitation using music. I first came to Canada in 2014 for a postdoc at McGill and I guess I never really left. I play the baroque oboe and Armenian duduk as a pastime that got out of control. I'm also unreasonably passionate about Jungian dream psychology and interpersonal communication but don't get me started.
