SUMMARY:Inaugural lecture prof.dr.ir. A. Hillebrand
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: Magnetisme meten is
weten. Verstoorde hersennetwerken ontrafeld
From measurem
ent to knowledge: magnetic signals unravel disrupted brain networks
Can we see how brain networks function - and how they become di
srupted in dementia, epilepsy, or brain tumors? Can we not only measu
re these changes, but also recognize them earlier and more reliably t
han is currently possible? Professor of magnetoencephalography Arjan
Hillebrand will discuss this and more in his inaugural lecture.
Our brains communicate via small electrical currents that generate m
agnetic fields. Using sensitive sensors, we measure these signals out
side the head and thus map how brain areas work together. But how do
we translate such measurements into better diagnostics? Can we predic
t how a disease will develop, or which patient is at increased risk?
And if networks become disrupted, can we also adjust them more effect
ively?
Hillebrand and his research group want to use magnetism
to unravel disrupted brain networks - so that measurement truly leads
to knowledge, and knowledge to action.
