Biography

Nick Ramsey has a degree in Psychology and a PhD in neuro-psychopharmacology, both from the University of Utrecht (Curriculum Vitae). He became a specialist in cognitive neuroimaging in the US (National Institutes of Health) and applies modern techniques, including high-field (7 Tesla) fMRI and intracranial EEG, to questions on working memory, language, and sensorimotor function with a focus on Brain-Computer Interfaces. In 2015 he co-founded the startup Braincarta BV that provides a fully automated analysis and reporting of fMRI data.
