Janniko Georgiadis has a PhD in the field of system neuroscience. The underlying theme of his research is to gain a better understanding of positive feelings (fun, flow) in social situations. The research of Dr. Georgiadis focuses on the neuro biology of the Human Sexual response (a primary form of positive feeling and motivation), and also on the role of positive feelings in academic education. He applies principles of research into positive emotions to develop and improve applications in biomedical academic education. In his research Dr. Georgiadis uses various research methods, such as fMRI, peripheral physiological measurements, questionnaires and psychological tests.
Together with a virtual reality company, he works on digital education innovations, in which, based on scientific results, gamification (game-psychological) elements are used to make the educational innovations appeal as much as possible on positive feelings.
In addition, Dr. Georgiadis, as head of the Groninger body donation program, facilitates clinical anatomical research for third parties by making donated bodies available and providing specific anatomical expertise.
