Biography

Margreet Wijmans has finished her Master’s degree in Applied Cognitive Psychology at Utrecht University after a long road from intermediate vocational education (MBO), via a preliminary examination (HBO) in social work.

During her master, she investigated the scan behaviour in participants looking at different types of faces.
