Martijn started to pursue a life of science in Amsterdam by joining the lab of Dr. Victor Lamme. In 2014, the scientific waters took him into the realm of internally oriented processes, including metacognition, prediction, and creative thinking. He investigated these topics in Brussels with Dr. Axel Cleeremans and in the labs of Dr. Tony Ro in New York and Dr. Tristan Bekinschtein in Cambridge (ABC Talent Grant, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship 2018-2021). When working for Sony Computer Science Labs Tokyo (2021-2022), Martijn studied fear learning and  group decision-making together with Ai Koizumi .

Currently, Martijn is investigating how (conscious/unconscious) internally generated information emerges in the brain, at the University of Granada and at New York University. To this end, he uses psychophysics, neuroimaging methods (fMRI, MEG/EEG), and non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS).
