Principal investigator

Utrecht-BCI lab is a multidisciplinary group of scientists that study human brain function. The central motive of the lab is to elucidate the neuronal mechanisms underlying human brain function in health, in order to help patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders, with a focus on neurotechnologies, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces. We research on many topics from hand & speech sensorimotor function, to language, vision and working memory processes.
