Wouter joined the B&D lab as a PhD student in November 2006. Previously he had received his M.A. in Philosophy (2005) and MSc in Cognitive Science (2006), both at the University of Amsterdam. For the Cognitive Science Master he spent 8 months as a visiting graduate student at Princeton University in the laboratory of Jonathan Cohen, where he worked on an fMRI project aimed at understanding the role of the mPFC in social cognition and reward processing. In his current work he studies the neural correlates and developmental change in social decision-making and reinforcement learning..

Supervisors: Eveline Crone, Michiel Westenberg, Eric van Dijk.

Bregtje joined the Brain and Development Lab as a PhD student in April 2007. In 2006 she received her Master’s of Science degree in Biological and Neuropsychology at Utrecht University. Within the field of neuroscience, she is mainly interested in the role of the brain in human social and emotional behavior. The primary focus of her PhD project is to study the neural substrate of social rejection in adolescence by using functional neuroimaging recordings. More specifically, she aims to discover developmental trajectories in brain regions involved in the processing of signals and feelings of social exclusion. Her project is performed under supervision of Prof. Dr. Eveline Crone and in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Maurits van der Molen at the University of Amsterdam.

Dietsje received her MSc in Cognitive Psychology and Neuro / Biopsychology at the University of Groningen in October 2006. Since January 2007 she is a PhD student in the Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition under supervision of Dr. Eveline Crone, Dr. Serge Rombouts and Prof. Dr. Mark van Buchem. Dietsje is interested in the way development of brain function is influenced by the maturation of neural circuitry on the one hand and by practice on the other hand. Her studies involve working memory training of children aged 8 to 25. Using a training approach she tries to study the effects of age and the effects of practice independently. In this project, she uses a variety of different methods, including functional MRI, resting state fMRI, high resolution structural brain imaging and DTI.

Sietske joined the B&D lab as a PhD student in september 2009. She completed the research master program at the University of Amsterdam, where she obtained experience in brain imaging research and experimental design. Sietske will work on the “practice makes the brain work better” project. Under supervision of and in cooperation with Dr. Eveline Crone, Dr. Wilma Resing and Dr. Cédric Koolschijn, Sietske will investigate how brain functions change through training and intervention. Her PhD work will also focus on how developmental differences relate to these changes
