MulckhuyseBio

Manon Mulckhuyse is a visiting researcher from Radboud University. Her research concerns emotional modulation of visual spatial attention and the underlying neural mechanisms of these processes. She obtained her PhD at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, where she worked on the interaction between bottom-up and top-down driven attentional processes (supervisor Prof. dr. Jan Theeuwes). After her PhD, she received a Rubicon grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) to investigated the influence of threat on covert and overt attentional processes working with Prof. dr. Geert Crombez at Ghent University. Her recent research concerns a VENI project, in which she investigates the temporal dynamics of emotional modulation of attentional and visual selection. With Jan Engelmann, she is working on several repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) studies to determine which brain areas are essential in emotional modulation of attentional selection.
