About me

My name is (Magda)Lena Matyjek and I’m a researcher in the field of neuropsychology and social cognition. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher Prof. Dziobek’s Clinical Psychology of Social Interaction lab at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany with the DAAD PRIME Fellowship. Within this Fellowship, I am a visiting researcher at Prof. Wheatley’s Social Systems Lab at Dartmouth College and Prof. Hamilton’s Social Cognition Lab at University Collage London. My projects investigate mainly socio-cognitive strengths and atypicalities in autism and autistic traits.

I have earned my BSc and MSc in Cognitive Science at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. With exchange programs, I also studied Cognitive Science at University of Vienna, Austria, and Neuropsychology at University of Wollongong, Australia. Then, I completed a doctoral program at Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and was a Maria Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with the EUTOPIA-SIF program at University Pompeu Fabra in prof. Soto Faraco’s Multisensory Research Group. I have gained research experience in a few EEG labs (see Work experience), and had a chance to work in international environments.
