Bio
Hi! I'm Johann Roland Kleinbub, PhD. I have a post doc position at the University of Padova (Italy). My research areas are interpersonal synchronization and altered states of consciousness, such as hypnosis and mindfulness, both in the framework of clinical psychology and its efficacy.
I'm also digging into bayesian statistics and social network analyses.
In my spare time I love working on graphic and web design projects, together with the creative tribe Trepixel that I created with Dr. Marino Bressan.
Together with a team of psychologists, sociologists and MDs I co-founded the Sigizia a.p.s. non-profit organization, active in Verona (Italy) in the assistance of Alzheimer disease patients and families.
