معرفی
Jeroen van Boxtel is an Associate Professor at the University of Canberra's Discipline of Psychology. He is affiliated with the Clinical Research Rehabilitation and Translation Area of Strength, focusing on cognitive neuroscience, autism spectrum disorders, and visual perception mechanisms. His career spans Utrecht University, Caltech, UCLA, and Monash University, where he led the Cognitive Neuroimaging group.
- Education: Master's in Biology (Utrecht University) and Cognitive Sciences (Université Pierre et Marie Curie & Collège de France), PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience (Utrecht University, 2008)
His research combines experimental, computational, and neuroimaging methods to investigate attention-consciousness relationships, biological motion perception, and neural noise effects. Key projects include using stochastic resonance to enhance visual perception and studying attentional modulation in schizophrenia and autism traits.
Recent publications explore how noise impacts perceptual performance, the neural basis of invisibility, and multisensory approaches to driver distraction. His work contributes to understanding sensory processing in neurodiverse populations and developing interventions for visual impairments.
He actively supervises PhD students and collaborates on grants like Improving vision using noise in the visually impaired (2024-2026) and Just add noise: the benefits of neural and stimulus noise for perception (2022-2025). He also contributes to curriculum decolonisation initiatives.
Labs and teams include the Cognitive Neuroimaging group at Monash Biomedical Imaging and interdisciplinary collaborators across neuroscience and psychology.
