Senne Braem is an associate professor at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Ghent University, Belgium. Senne’s research focuses on the interactions between cognitive control (or “executive functions”) and different forms of learning, such as reinforcement learning, associative learning, fear conditioning, or learning via instructions. Together with his team, they study the learning of these arguably higher-order functions through designing and using different behavioral paradigms, sometimes combined with neuroimaging methods or computational modelling. Senne’s work has also tried to study the relevance of these functions for cognitive training and better understanding different clinical conditions, primarily autism. His research has been funded by the BOF Special Research Funds, the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO), and the European Research Council (ERC).
