Jan Bernard Marsman

Jan Bernard Marsman is a researcher affiliated with the University of Groningen’s Faculty of Medical Sciences and the UMCG, specifically within the Perceptual and Cognitive Neuroscience (PCN) department and the Clinical Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Research Program (CCNP). His research focuses on neuroimaging techniques, psychiatric disorders, and visual neuroscience. He has contributed to over 77 peer-reviewed publications, with recent work emphasizing schizophrenia, depression, glaucoma, and cognitive impairment.

Key research interests include functional MRI applications in emotion regulation, structural brain network analysis in Alzheimer’s precursors, and innovative eye-tracking methods for glaucoma diagnostics. He collaborates globally through initiatives like the ENIGMA consortium to study schizotypy and neuroanatomical correlates of mental health conditions.

His articles highlight advancements in using continuous visual tracking for visual field defect detection, gray matter alterations in mild cognitive impairment, and neural mechanisms underlying auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia. Marsman’s work bridges clinical diagnostics with neurobiological insights, contributing to both basic science and translational medicine.

Supervised 5 academic works, contributed to 3 datasets (e.g., glaucoma eye-tracking studies), and actively engages in multidisciplinary teams addressing neurodegenerative and psychiatric challenges.
