I would like to thank my promotor, Hedderik van Rijn, for giving me the opportunity to be part of the Vici project. Thank you for making a rather untypical project, in many different locations, with many collaborators, possi-ble. And thank you for providing the freedom to explore my scientific interests. Thank you to my co-promotor Thomas Wolbers for giving me the opportunity to gather clinical patients/ce experience at the DZNE in Magdeburg, for host-ing me in your lab group, and for letthost-ing me be a .ppt superstar. Thank you to my supervisor Leendert van Maanen for teaching me some of your remarkable modeling skills, for always having an open ear, and your much appreciated sup-port in this project. Thank you Hedderik, Leendert, and Thomas for a true collaborative project and the many, many laughs.
Thank you to my paranymphs! Maria - from BCN day one we’ve man-aged to muddle our way through the scientific world - thank you for always being there for a motivational hug! And thank you Robbert for attempting to cure my relationships with cats.
Thank you Nadine for keeping up the female spirit and being my hipster café scout buddy during conference and lunch breaks and your remarkable (sometimes slightly pedantic) eye for (font)style. Thank you to the Temporal Cognition group (past)members, Atser, Joost, Josh, Martin, Nadine, Robbert, Sajad, Soha, and Wouter. I know I wasn’t around all that much, but you always made me feel part of the group: thank you for your valuable feedback, coffee distractions, and for always providing motivational encouragement. Thank you Florian for a successful, meaningful CPR project and great company during US trips. Thank you Minou for having my back (healed). And thank you to all friends in Groningen and colleagues of the E-group at Psychology, for always keeping a space free for me and the quality time when I was around. I enjoyed (almost :) every hallway or office chat, coffee break, lunch, and after-work beer!
Thank you to all scientific collaborators over these years: Domenica Bueti (and the time perception lab members in Trieste), Till Sander, and Tadeusz Kononowicz. Thank you Till for hosting me at the PTB in Berlin, I promise, I’ll never pull a cable. Thank you to the Aging and Cognition research group members in Magdeburg, lunch at the canteen was always an interesting adven-ture!
Thank you to my family! I would like to thank my grandfather for his never-ending proudness, even beyond his passing - I know this book would have found a special place on the cupboard. Thank you to my mother and father, brother and sister-in-law for your support, your encouragement and un-conditional love! Danke Mama for always believing in me, even at moments I

didn’t do so myself! Danke Papa for teaching me the 80/20 rule - I hope this proves my mastery of it! And thank you Simon for teaching me how to „mal
Gas geben“!
Thank you to Lia, Catha, Lisa, and Myriam: having strong independent women around was the best company I could hope for. Thank you to Yannick and Dragana for empowering me and teaching me to lift more than myself! Thank you Sophia for always being there, ready with a coffee to take a walk. Thank you to the owners of my café-writing spots, for letting me sit for hours typing and sipping on my cappuccino.
And thank you to all the other people that walked (parts of) this path alongside me, for each encouraging word and motivational kick in the butt. You know who you are.
