My PhD focussed on interactions between pain and reward\/punishment,\u00a0 and how motivation regulates pain. I have worked with chronic pain patients as well as experimental pain in healthy participants. I was trained on standardized QST protocols, commonly performed to support the diagnosis of different pain syndromes, and gained experience with various brain imaging techniques, including fMRI, MRS, PET, EEG, and MEG. Currently, I am a Leverhulme post-doctoral fellow at CINN, being mentored by Carien van Reekum. I am very interested in how people regulate pain and how they manage \u2013 or struggle \u2013 to cope with it. Coping with pain becomes especially important when pain persists over long periods of time or even becomes chronic. Within this context, I am trying to understand how pain is being influenced by emotion, cognition, and motivation. Most intriguing to me is the \u2018how\u2019 and \u2018who\u2019 of pain regulation, so I use fMRI to understand the interplay between psychological influences on pain and their underlying neural mechanisms. Because people all come with different pain experiences, cultural differences to communicate pain, and different abilities to handle aversive situations, I am also trying to detect individual patterns that may tell us who is particularly vulnerable to struggle with pain versus those who manage to cope with it just fine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>CINN research I am involved with<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_basic_grid post_type=&#8221;post&#8221; max_items=&#8221;-1&#8243; element_width=&#8221;2&#8243; gap=&#8221;10&#8243; item=&#8221;3583&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1703100974684-d2d85704ca5d898062f644cfe78c670a-3&#8243; taxonomies=&#8221;287, 283&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;color: #808080\">Is this you? <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/r\/9SYbBwph33\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Update your profile here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lecturer in Psychology<br \/>\nSchool of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":469,"featured_media":6517,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[291,210,292,296,301,215,302],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brain-body-physiology","category-centre-staff","category-cognitive-neuroscience","category-mental-health-and-wellbeing","category-pain","category-people","category-philosophy-of-mind-and-cognitive-science"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
