In june 2007 I gave my inaugural lecture entitled 'Patients in numbers: mathematics in clinical neurophysiology' (see link: in Dutch).
Most of the research work I currently do is best described as Clinical Neuroengineering: I translate a clinical neurological problem to a physico-mathematical problem, find a solution using state-of-the-art mathematical techniques and translate this solution back to neurology for application by neurologists, technicians and researchers from other fields. A more detailed explanation can be found in the annual report 2003-2008 of the research school BCN that I participate in. A research project can cover any one or more of these steps. I strongly believe in cross-disciplinary research and work together with researchers not only from neurology, but also from psychology, physiology, computer science and applied mathematics. This is reflected in the topics of my scientific publications and also in two examples of completed PhD projects using EMG-fMRI and multichannel EEG recordings.
Examples of my way of working are described in several of the links on this page (mostly in Dutch unfortunately).
