Mikkel Christoffer Vinding is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen. His work focuses primarily on cognitive modeling, specifically regarding cognitive control and movement. He utilizes computer-based models based on principles of active inference to investigate voluntary goal-directed intentions related to motor control. His projects have included experiments using various methodologies, including electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as well as magnetoencephalography (MEG). Vinding's research emphasizes modeling functional neural activity in relation to Parkinson's disease and its clinical symptoms. He has previously studied consciousness, intentional control of movements, and has been actively involved in promoting open science practices and data sharing among researchers. He is part of the steering group for a large metascience project that explores how researchers' choices in data processing methods can affect scientific conclusions in EEG research. His expertise lies at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and motor control, contributing to significant advancements in understanding volition and intention.
Focuses on clinical, social, and cognitive psychology.
