  • MULTINET at OHBM 2021

    We are at OHBM 2021! Here are the posters where you could find us: #1643 by Shanna Kulik: Individual modeling of neurophysiological brain activity. Abstract & poster PDF #2297 by Lucas Breedt: Multimodal, multilayer network topology correlates of healthy aging and executive functioning. Abstract & poster PDF. And Linda was involved in the following two…

  • Eduarda will present at GSI ’21

    Eduarda will be presenting the hands-on tutorial on graph and topological network analysis at the conference on Geometric Science of Information, held hybrid-style between 21-23 July in Paris, France! Details can be found here.

  • GOALS2 highlighted

    In GOALS2, we will prospectively investigate whether brain activity measured with MEG or EEG could help determine (pseudo)progression in glioma. The work builds on previous work on the interaction between these primary brain tumors and the surrounding brain tissue. Excited to get started later this year! https://www.amsterdamumc.org/research/institutes/cancer-center-amsterdam/news/-tracking-the-progression-of-brain-tumors-with-non-invasive-methods-.htm

  • Doctor Jolanda Derks

    Jolanda successfully defended her beautiful dissertation “The impact of glioma on brain functioning and vice versa”! Congratulations!

  • Fernando receives IAS fellowship

    The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) in Amsterdam has granted Fernando a visiting fellowship starting in the spring of 2021! He will investigate high-order interactions in complex systems, asking: how can we empirically measure high-order interactions in networks? Focusing on clinical network neuroscience, this research seeks to connect high-order brain network properties with behavioral properties.

  • Lucas Breedt

    While studying psychology, I realized that my interests leaned more towards research than clinical work. During my master’s I therefore decided to do a research internship, and I ended up at the department of Anatomy and Neurosciences of the VUmc, where I looked at the MEG-based brain networks of patients with MS in relation to…

  • Vasco Rauh

    I recently graduated from the Vrije Universiteit with a master’s degree in Neuroscience. During my study, I also engaged in a variety of neurophilosophical courses, which has made me skilled at evaluating the conceptual foundations of neuroscientific research. During my first neuroscientific internship I studied the network configuration of alcohol seeking under motivational conflict in…

  • Marloes Bet

    I am a second-year Neurosciences Master student, fascinated by the ability of the brain to govern the entire human body, including itself. In my last internship, I used a network approach to integrate structural (anatomical) and functional (activity-related) MRI-data in multiple sclerosis patients with and without cognitive impairment. As I realised the extent to which…

  • Marike van Lingen

    Hi everyone, My name is Marike van Lingen and I have a background in Psychobiology (University of Amsterdam, 2015) and Neurosciences (VU University, 2018). I have a broad interest in the workings of the brain, ranging from the cellular level to understanding cognitive functioning. I therefore love working in an interdisciplinary team, and being able…

  • Quirien Oort

    Quirien Oort is no stranger in neuro-oncological research: coming from a neuropsychological background, she is been working on her dissertation on quality of life in brain tumor patients with Martin Taphoorn (LUMC), Linda Dirven (LUMC), and Jaap Reijneveld (VUmc). She now joins the lab to explore MRI and network analysis. Welcome Quirien!
