General
Join the Brain Imaging (BI) members of Amsterdam Neuroscience for an afternoon to discuss the latest advancements in brain imaging techniques and their applications. You are invited to the next Brain Imaging Symposium on October 6, 2026.
Speakers
Dr. Wietske Van der Zwaag currently works at the Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging, Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen and at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience. Wietske does research in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, especially functional MRI at ultra-high field. Her current project is "Visualising activation in the human cerebellum".
Prof. Martijn van den Heuvel (CNCR, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) is a computational neuroscientist with a background in AI, network science and MRI data analysis. He studies the roadmap of connections in the brain -the connectome- in health and disease. With his work he aims to bridge disciplines such as psychology, mathematics, biology and medicine to unravel the topological network structure of the human and animal brain.
