Lab Alumni

Dr Antonia Eisenkoeck

Antonia was a PhD student in the lab. She holds a BSc Psychology from Goldsmiths and an MSc in Brain and Mind Sciences from UCL. Antonia was interested in how we perceive intention in others’ behaviour. The focus of her research was on the cognitive processes involved in making judgments on intentionality and what factors influence them (e.g., cognitive load). She is currently working for Springer Nature on Nature Masterclasses, providing training and further development for researchers and scientists

Dr Rachel Slavny

Rachel was a postdoctoral researcher in the lab and her research explored individual differences in the ‘intentionality bias’. Before joining the lab she completed her PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London. Her doctoral research investigated several cognitive biases associated with mental ill-health in adolescents and explored biases both developmentally and across multiple mental health conditions. She is now a postdoc at the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.

Dr Bianca Elena Ivanof

Bianca was a PhD student in the lab. Her research focussed on a detailed investigation of intentional binding (i.e. the perceived temporal compression between voluntary actions and their consequences) as assessed via the Libet clock method. More specifically, she used behavioural methods to see whether systematic changes in the classic Libet clock parameters affect intentional binding, and whether such changes impact on the implicit sense of agency as a whole. She is currently publishing bits from her thesis, reviewing publications whenever she has the opportunity to do so and forging a career as a Researcher and/or Data Analyst in the corporate world.
