Low energy electron transmission through layered materials and chiral organic films
In this Ph.D. thesis we study the interaction of low energy electrons with thin materials, namely layered materials (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide) and organic films. At these low energies the quantum mechanical wavelength of the electron wave function is in the order of a…

Development of new chemical tools to study the cannabinoid receptor type 2
The endocannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R are involved in a plethora of processes, and consequently are involved in many pathological conditions. Their wide distribution makes the CBRs both an interesting therapeutic target and hard to study.

Juridische oordeelsvorming in het aansprakelijkheidsrecht en financieel toezicht
Het vertrekpunt van dit onderzoek is de bevinding dat het menselijk brein vatbaar is voor allerlei denkfouten en vooringenomenheden (biases), die onze percepties kleuren en onze redenaties beïnvloeden, zonder dat we dit bewust doorhebben. Integendeel, mensen hebben veelal het gevoel dat zij slechts…

Wat zit er achter het scherm? Verwachtingen van baby's van 10 maanden over verborgen voorwerpen
Het begrijpen van de wereld om ons heen hangt af van het vermogen om de wereld te ontleden in verschillende objecten en deze in hun geheugen op te slaan. Dit proces wordt gedefinieerd als object individuatie. Onderzoek wijst uit dat dit voor baby’s niet altijd gemakkelijk is.

Evaluatie en implementatie van innovatieve diagnostiek en behandelingen
Als een nieuwe methode is ontwikkeld om een (neuro-)psychologische aandoening of hieraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren te herkennen en te behandelen, kan deze nog niet direct in de klinische praktijk worden ingezet. Eerst moet de methode geëvalueerd worden, bij voorkeur in gerandomiseerde, gecontroleerde…
