Thenille Braun Janzen is a postdoctoral fellow at the Music and Health Research Collaboratory Institute at University of Toronto. She completed her PhD in Neuroscience at University of São Paulo (Brazil) and Psychology at Macquarie University (Australia), under the supervision of Prof. Bill Thompson and Prof. Ronald Ranvaud. Her thesis examined timing mechanisms that enable the production of different types of timed movements, and how factors such as expectancy, feedback, expertise, and training, affect the operation and development of these timing mechanisms. Part of the behavioural experiments conducted in her thesis was developed in collaboration with Dr. Paolo Ammirante (SMART Lab). Thenille is currently investigating the effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation as brain stimulant for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder and Fibromyalgia.
