Lines of research

The central theme in most of my research is to understand cognitive processes in normal and abnormal eating behaviour. I approach this topic using multiple methods, ranging from cognitive psychological to neuroscientific methods. While most of my research is fundamental in nature, I also have a research line focused on a clinical application. This research is conducted in close collaboration with my PhD students, and interested master students also often join. Within this central theme, I developed three lines of research:

  • Research on food reward processing in the brain (fMRI). My development of this line started in 2006, and addresses (1) overweight – healthy-weight differences in cue elicited reward processing, (2) neural correlates of the effects of cue-exposure with response prevention, and (3) the effects of task and mindset (e.g., focus on palatability or on caloric value) on food-reward processing. This line of research is currently funded by a VIDI-grant (NWO).
  • Cognitive processing of food cues: In this research line as well, my main interest at the moment is the effect of attentional set on biased attention, and how this may interact with weight and restraint status. This line of research is currently funded by a VIDI-grant (NWO).
  • Research line on the development of a self-learning E-Coach for weight loss: in this project we developed a self-learning E-Coach for weight loss based on principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This project ws a collaboration between psychologists and engineers (experts on data mining techniques and machine learning). This project was funded by STW-NIHC-Philips. We will now continue this line of research, and develop Think Slim for Kids, funded by EIT digital / EIT health

Editorial responsibilities

  • Editor Research Topic Neuroscience of Eating: From Physiology to Pathology, in Frontiers
  • Editorial board member of the journal Appetite
  • Editorial board member of the journal Human Nutrition and Dietetics
  • Editorial board member of the journal Behaviour Research and Therapy
  • Editorial board member of the journal International Journal of Clinical Health Psychology

Teaching

Extensive teaching experience, ranging from small-group tutoring to coordinating large-scale (> 300 students) first-year courses and coordinating specialized master’s courses. Much of my teaching has focused on research methodology, both at the bachelor’s and the master’s level. I am the coordinator of the psychopathology track of the research master Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience.

Grants & Prizes

My research has been funded by several grants (2.6 million), and is currently mostly funded by a VIDI-grant (2015) and by NWO Gravitation (2019).
