Bio
Janniko Georgiadis graduated as a human movement scientist, and did a PhD in systems neuroscience. The title of his thesis “The orgasmic brain exposed” suggests that his research topic was quite exciting. He has been studying the neurobiology and neuropsychology of human sexual behavior ever since, but has also shifted his attention to other, completely different, areas where motivation through positive affect is thought to be of significance. One such area is game-based learning in academia. Janniko heads the Section Anatomy & Medical Physiology at his institution, and until recently was one of the course directors of UMCG medical school. He is responsible for the UMCG body donation program, and for two main teaching and training facilities: Dissection Room and Medical Physiology Lab. Furthermore, Janniko is actively involved in the design and development of digital educational innovations for anatomy and physiology.
