Welcome!

… to my humble personal site. I may add some blog posts in the future, but for now, I am trying to document all my work and personal projects in one place.

To contact me, send me an email at darius.valevicius@gmail.com.

“Liutas” is not my real surname, but it’s a Lithuanian word that sounds nice as a pseudonym.

About me

I’m currently a PhD student at Université de Montréal, researching real-time neurofeedback modulation of fear and other emotions in the ECLIPS Lab. I previously studied the effects of music on pain at McGill University, worked as an fMRI research software developer at the Montreal Neurological Institute, and co-authored a handbook on psychometrics in mental health (in preparation) as part of a Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives initiative.

My interests are pretty wide-ranging, but mostly center around emotion, mental health, and the arts. In my free time I like to develop skills in drawing, painting, playing music, and working on video games and computational art projects. I also love climbing and boxing.
