Brain Storm research published in Conciousness and Cognition
Recently, human behavior has been considered the product of continuous interactions between perception, cognition and action in which ‘‘affordances” (action possibilities the environment has to offer) play an important role. Converging evidence suggests that multiple action possibilities simultaneously compete for further processing, while external and internal factors (e.g., incoming sensory information, predictions) bias this competition.

Brain Storm
When we place everyday objects in a misfitting context, how does this affect how we perceive the action possibilities of such objects? And why is ‘recontextualisation’ such as placement of familiar objects in unfamiliar context a common theme in contemporary art? Could the outcome be relevant for the future of architectural design?

Beginners mind. Experimental design
Together with researcher Martijn Wokke from the Amsterdam Brain & Cognition Centre, we are trying to track down the neural basis of pre-reflective decision making. How do environmental stimuli influence our decion-making process? And our intuition? I am interested in this as in architecture and bodily interaction are interwined. In this first experiment, I offered unfamiliar objects with a specific function to test persons. See video
