B.1 Acknowledgments
First of all, I would like to thank Tom de Boer and Joke Meijer for their mentorship, support and fruitful discussions throughout the years that I spent in the lab. Additionally, I would like to thank all the older and newer members of the neurophysiology lab for the time that we spent together.
Special thanks to Mayke, my paranymph, for all the help in the lab and the experiments on the 9th floor, the company during the endless hours in the sleep deprivation experi-ments, our coffee breaks, our shared love about board- and video-games and continuous discussions about everything.
Special thanks also to my friend and office-mate Karim, for all the scientific help and the academic, social, political and economic discussions, especially in the late hours in the office when we had our inspirations as night owls.
I would like to thank all my bachelor and master students, Danielle, Joris, Hessel, Wouter and Mandy for the data that we produced and analyzed together.
Many thanks to my Nijmegen friends for the amazing time that we had, our dinners, board- and video-game nights (and days), movie/series nights, parties, coffee and drinks and all the abroad experiences that we shared, Maria & Nikos, Irini, Sakis, Marios, Dim-itris (x2), Gus, Athina, Alex, Valia and many others. To my friends in the neighboring departments in Leiden, Sofia and Irina, and former colleague and good friend from the neurophysiology department Sissy (+Giorgos) thank you all so much and good luck at your academic careers and personal life! Special thanks to Sissy for the dutch translation of the summary of this thesis.
Special thanks to my best friends and sisters since adolescence Mirella and Charoula (and extended families, Giorgos x 2 and baby!) for all their love and support! To my best friends from the Athenian University, Alexandra & Anna, thank you so much for our perfect actual or digital time together, as well as to Dimitra & Toula, although not often seen, it is always as if not a day has passed. To my cousin & best friend Marilena (+Christos, Eva, Marios) thank you for always being in my life since day 1 (literally since year 2.5) :) !
