Hanneke den Ouden - Lab Director

Hanneke is an associate professor at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. She is interested in how we flexibly adapt to changing environmental demands, and why we so often fail to do so. Hanneke holds a Wellcome-Trust PhD in Neuroscience from University College London, completed at the WT Centre for Neuroimaging under supervision of prof. Karl Friston and prof. Klaas Enno Stephan, and MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from Utrecht University. From 2009-2011 she was a postdoctoral fellow in the motivation & cognitive control lab with prof. Roshan Cools at the Donders Institute. In 2011-2013, Hanneke worked with prof. Nathaniel Daw at the Center for Neural Science, New York University. She then obtained an AXA postdoctoral fellowship as well as a Veni Talent Scheme fellowship to return to the Donders Institute, where she became an assistant professor in 2016. In 2017, she was awarded a Vidi Innovation Grant to study the computational and neuropharmacological basis of adaptive decision-making in health and disease.
