  • Arjan Hillebrand unravels disrupted brain networks with magnetoencephalography
    Arjan Hillebrand unravels disrupted brain networks with magnetoencephalography With his specialism in magnetoencephalography (MEG), Arjan Hillebrand wants to further explore how brain networks function and how they are disrupted in dementia, epilepsy, and brain tumors. Additionally, he wants to recognize those disrupted networks earlier and more reliable than in current situations.
