Principal Investigator
Wim Notebaert
​
Started in Leuven (KUL) with Johan Wagemans, investigating low level perception. Did my PhD in Brussels (VUB) with Eric Soetens on sequential effects in congruency tasks. As a postdoc in Ghent conflict adaptation was my first focus, later error monitoring and effort investment. Now my focus is on metacognition and decision making in sports. I do this with a large team of master students, PhDs, postdocs and (inter)national collaborators.
