Dr. Marijn van Wingerden is an Associate Professor at Tilburg University's Department of Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, affiliated with the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences. He is part of the Academic Collaborative Center for Digital Health & Mental Wellbeing and leads the Social Rodent Lab, supported by a Volkswagen Foundation Freigeist Fellowship. His work focuses on applying machine learning and computational models to study social cognition, mental health, and decision-making processes in both humans and animal models.
Research interests include neuropsychiatric disorders, social valuation mechanisms, and the impact of stress on reward sensitivity. He collaborates with institutions like Erasmus MC and Elisabeth-Tweesteden Hospital on projects involving predictive analytics for trauma recovery and population cohort clustering. Van Wingerden is actively involved in initiatives like the Dutch Brain Olympiad and has contributed to studies on transgenic DISC1 rats modeling schizophrenia-related social deficits.
Key projects include MEGaNorm (normative brain dynamics modeling) and predictive models for nursing care. He has supervised research on topics such as social discounting, ultrasonic vocalizations in rodents, and the neural basis of mutual reward preferences. His work bridges cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and clinical applications to advance mental health diagnostics and interventions.
