I believe that the ability to understand and identify the characteristics and complexities of different types of data is essential for addressing complex challenges that government agencies, businesses, and non-profit organizations face today.Throughout my scientific career, I have gained expertise in this area by integrating the analysis obtained from various neuroimaging techniques, particularly EEG and fMRI. For such analyses, it is crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of different measurement methods and data types before integrating their analysis in a meaningful way. Such complex analyses require the ability to think from first principles and develop new analytical approaches and insights.After 20 successful and fulfilling years in academic science, I am very excited to apply my skills in the industry. I am seeking positions where I can apply my research, data analysis, and neuroscience skills to concrete application areas. I am interested in research and knowledge institutions, pharmaceutical companies, medical technology, innovative start-ups/scale-ups, and consulting firms.You can reach me at +31 6-25325826 or via email at renescheeringa@gmail.com.

Postdoctoral ResearcherDonders Institute For Brain, Cognition And Behaviour Sep 2019 - Feb 2023During this appointment, I was involved in various projects based on my expertise instatistics, data analysis, and simultaneous EEG and fMRI measurements. Among these projects are two projects involving simultaneous EEG and fMRI measurements related toreward and cognitive control, in which I was involved in EEG signal analysis and setting up integrated EEG-fMRI analysi. Additionally, I supervised an internship project studying changes in cortical brain networks at the level of cortical layers with fMRI using a correlational approach. As part of an international collaboration, I contributed to a chapter in an introductory book on simultaneous EEG and fMRI measurements. Furthermore, I taught master's students on this subject. -

Postdoctoral ResearcherInserm Feb 2017 - Aug 2019Lyon, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, FranceIn this project, I investigated the relationship between neural oscillations and neural activity evoked by specific visual features in cortical layers of visual brain regions. This research was conducted using simultaneous EEG and high-resolution fMRI measurements. Data analysis was performed using a general linear model, followed by a non-parametric cluster-based test statistic to correct for multiple comparisons. I utilized a physiologically realistic source model for estimating the EEG signals. Throughout this project, I collaborated with and mentored a Master's student who I later co-supervised through his Ph.D. dissertation. -
Postdoctoral ResearcherUmc Utrecht May 2016 - Oct 2016Study on the directional interactions between brain regions based on electrocorticography (ECoG) measurements in epilepsy patients. For these analyses, I employed frequency-specific Granger causality. -
Postdoctoral ResearcherDonders Institute For Brain, Cognition And Behaviour Sep 2010 - Apr 2016Nijmegen, Gelderland, NetherlandsDuring my appointment, I was involved in various projects that involved simultaneous EEG and fMRI measurements. A significant portion of my work was carried out within a project funded by a Veni grant awarded to me by NWO. In this project, I conducted research on the relationship between different neural oscillations and neural activity in cortical layers. The analysis was performed using a general linear model and involved control measures based on pupil size and eye-movements. Independent component analysis was utilized to identify relevant EEG signals.In a collaborative project with a colleague, I investigated the role of alpha-band oscillations (~10 Hz) in visual attention processes. The statistical analysis was based on(partial) correlations. The alpha-band oscillations were estimated using a physiologically realistic source model.Throughout my appointment, I also provided supervision to a research assistant and several internship students. Additionally, I taught master's students and conducted workshops. Moreover, I organized a symposium during an international conference.

Postdoctoral ResearcherInserm Dec 2008 - Aug 2010Neurospin, Gif-Sur-Yvette, FranceDuring my appointment, I worked at Neurospin, the national centre for MRI research in France, located near Paris. My own project utilized simultaneous EEG and fMRI measurements and focused on investigating the influence of spontaneous variations in the alpha rhythm on visually stimulated neural activity in the visual cortex. For the final analysis, I combined F- and t-values with cluster-based non-parametric statistics to apply correction for multiple comparisons. The alpha rhythm in the visual cortex was estimated using independent component analysis.In addition to my own project, I was involved in a study with a PhD student where we explored how fMRI activity in networks of brain regions involved in attention and cognitive control correlates with the strength of neural oscillations measured using EEG.

Phd ResearcherRadboud University Nijmegen Dec 2004 - Nov 2008Nijmegen, Gelderland, NetherlandsDuring my doctoral research, I investigated the relationship between EEG frequencies and neural activity measured with simultaneously recorded fMRI. This research was conducted in the context of experiments exploring working memory, visual attention, and the brain's resting state.Throughout my PhD, I gained valuable experience in setting up, planning, executing, and managing scientific projects. I also developed expertise in complex data analysis, including signal analysis of physiological data and applying descriptive and inferential statistics to this data. In addition to my own work, I actively contributed to projects of fellow PhD candidates in diverse areas, such as motion, language processing, and Parkinson's disease.Thesis: "On the relation between oscillatory EEG activity and the BOLD signal."https://repository.ubn.ru.nl/bitstream/handle/2066/83241/Scheeringa_proefschrift.pdf?sequence=1
