Jan-Bernard Marsman

Jan-Bernard Marsman is a Researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Medical Sciences, affiliated with the Perceptual and Cognitive Neuroscience (PCN) department and the Clinical Cognitive Neuropsychiatry Research Program (CCNP). His expertise includes advanced fMRI analysis, eye-tracking technologies, and statistical methodologies in neuroscience research. He teaches courses such as Basic and Advanced fMRI, Matlab for Neurosciences, and Project Management for PhD students.

His research focuses on neuroimaging applications in mental health disorders (e.g., depression, schizophrenia), cognitive impairment (e.g., Alzheimer's), and visual neuroscience (e.g., glaucoma diagnostics). Key projects include studying emotion regulation in depression, structural brain changes in schizophrenia, and optimizing eye-tracking for medical diagnostics.

Marsman has authored/co-authored over 77 peer-reviewed articles, with recent work exploring functional connectivity in depression relapse prediction, gray matter alterations in cognitive impairment, and neural correlates of hallucinations in schizophrenia. He actively collaborates internationally, including through the ENIGMA consortium for schizotypy research.

Teaching responsibilities include coordinating courses on neuroimaging techniques and supervising student projects. His work contributes to translational research bridging clinical practice and cognitive neuroscience advancements.
