About

In 2015, Nadine Herzog completed her Bachelor in psychology at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. She finalized her masters program in neuroscience—at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam—with a semi-annual research project at the Tel Aviv University in Israel. During this project, she investigated the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction on aberrant EEG signatures in ADHD and dyslexic adults. In January 2018, Nadine started her PhD project at the O’BRAIN Lab, examining shared and differential neurocognitive mechanisms in obesity and binge eating disorder during different stages of brain maturation. Here she utilizes behavioral as well as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigms.
