Rares Radulescu is a Cognitive Neuroscience Master student in track 2: Perception, Action, & Decision-Making. He completed a Bachelor’s degreee in Psychology & Technology at the Eindhoven University of Technology, focusing on Lights and Sounds. For his thesis, he investigated if metameric lights affect working memory performance by way of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.

As part of the lab, he is supervised by Bertalan Polner and Hanneke den Ouden in a pharmacological study investigating serotonin. They are interested in probing the effects of serotonin on the coupling of aversive stimuli and behavioral inhibition. In this sense, he is developing a new task that will be used in a psychopharmacological study using SSRIs.
