Knut Øverbye
Post Doctoral Research Fellow
Interests
- Brain plasticity
- Virtual reality
- Structural and functional MRI
- EEG
I am a postdoc in the research group Lifespan Changes in Brain and Cognition, headed by Prof. Anders M. Fjell and Prof. Kristine B. Walhovd. I currently work mainly with the project Set to Change”, where we are investigating how early life factors and genetics influence neurocognitive plasticity through the lifespan. I make use of Virtual Reality, and game engines more generally, to design and code complex and immersive experiments, including the one used in Set to Change.

I am responsible for maintaining LCBC’s VR-labs. In my PhD-work I researched maturational changes in brain and cognition from childhood to young adulthood using EEG and structural MRI, in a project led by Christian K. Tamnes.
