I am a freelance writer, tutor, consultant, and scientific editor with expertise in the fields of cognitive and clinical neuroscience, neuroimaging, and cognitive psychology. I am situated in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I received my PhD in Psychobiology from the University of Trier, Germany, before working as Post Doc at University of Bergen, Norway between 2006 and 2014. From 2015 to 2025, I have been working as associate and full professor in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Oslo. Here, I led my own research projects, supervised students on all levels, and I organised and helt curricular courses in cognitive neuroscience, cognitive psychology, research methods, and statistics.
My research interests fall within the broader field of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. I have a deep passion for neuroscience, and I am particularly curious about how the interplay between brain and cognition shapes human behaviour and subjective experience. In my research, I have studied this interplay in neurotypical individuals, as well as how it changes during childhood development, in aging, and in various neurological and psychiatric conditions.
One recurring research topic of mine is brain asymmetry, so, how functional differences between the left and right brain hemispheres relate to cognition. Within this research field, I have developed a particular interest in handedness, and parts of my research activity examines differences between left‑ and right‑handers, exploring their origins and consequences, often with a special focus on the popular neuromyths surrounding left‑handedness.
