This is fast turning into a blog about movies and skiing, which shouldn’t be the case. But when your life is centered around neuroscience, movies and skiing, and the neuroscience is still unresolved, movies must take up some space. However, I recently had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Christoph Koch [go explore his website [...]
As some of you might know, I’ve started to learn skiing here at Dartmouth. It’s incredibly convenient, because they have a skiway just 20 minutes away from campus. I take classes every Friday, and try to go on Saturday too, because it is free. I am still not an expert, but I am getting better [...]
So we have made progress in the experiment I am doing at Professor Peter Tse’s lab at Dartmouth College. We have settled on four preliminary conditions, and are now getting ready to do some pilot testing to a) figure out if we can make people see about 50 % local and 50 % global in [...]
This is the prototype of one kind of stimuli that we will be using in the fMRI project that I am currently taking part in. The idea is that you can see this stimuli in two ways, either local (pairs of dots spinning around each other) or global (two squares spinning around each other, or [...]
On October 12th Zarah, my-one-of-a-kind-girlfriend, came to visit me in the US. We stayed in New York for a few days, and headed up to Dartmouth afterwards. Really good times, although it almost broke my heart to have to say goodbye after 9 days. Pictures from her visit can be seen here and here – [...]

I was pretty worried about this exam, since statistics is not really my strong suit, and some of the questions are really hard. After [...]
Just a quick heads up for everyone who hasn’t seen it yet: you can see a wonderful map of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, where I am currently living and studying, by pressing the link at the top right corner. In my humble opinion: It kicks ass!
Kære Allesammen,
Så tog jeg mig endelig sammen til at få skrevet den her mail. Hovedformålet med den er faktisk at give jer mulighed for at se de her billeder. De af jer der bruger facebook har set mange af dem, men nu er de tilgængelige for alle, og nemt er det også! Der er 19 [...]
Hej alle sammen,
Endnu en fællesmail, men stadig ingen billeder online! Ja, jeg ved det godt, men der er altså bare en del ting at tage sig af her på stedet. Til mit forsvar har det også regnet stort set konstant siden jeg ankom, så evt. billeder af campus ville heller ikke have været vanvittigt [...]
