dr. Silvy H.P. Collin

I am a cognitive neuroscientist fascinated by the ways we take in, make sense of, and remember information—true or false, everyday facts or vivid life events. I obtained my PhD at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Nijmegen, Netherlands) and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Computational Memory Lab at Princeton University (Princeton, USA). Currently, I am an assistant professor at the Computational Cognitive Science department of Tilburg University (Netherlands).
