Thomas Carsten
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Thomas completed his PhD in Psychology in 2019 at the University of Gent. As part of his doctoral dissertation, he investigated the motivational properties of rewards and losses on response facilitation. Drawing from his experience with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephalography (EEG), he joined the CoActions Lab in 2019. His goal is to investigate the integration of sensory evidence into motor plans.
