Biographical sketch
Marcus Spaan (1970) attended the University of Amsterdam , where he obtained
a MSc in Psychonomics. Since 1999 he works at the University of Amsterdam .
First he worked as a research assistant under supervision of Richard
Ridderinkhof and subsequently (2000) as a member of the "Technical Support
Psychology" staff. Currently Marcus' jobs include "neuro" lab support (EEG, TMS
& fMRI) and "stim" lab support.
Key acitivities
- Testing of stimulus presentation soft and hardware.
- Support of "stim" labs.
- Support of "neuro" labs (EEG/TMS/fMRI).
- Linux server support.
- General lab issues.
