Paul Tiesinga

Paul Tiesinga is Professor of Neuroinformatics at Radboud University's Faculty of Science, where he directs the Neuroinformatics group at the Donders Centre for Neuroscience. His research focuses on understanding information processing in the brain, particularly the role of oscillations ('brain waves') in cognitive functions and disease mechanisms. He combines computational modeling with experimental approaches including optogenetics to investigate cortical dynamics.

As Director of Education for the Institute for Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, he oversees academic programs while maintaining active research in:

• Computational modeling of cortical circuits
• Oscillation mechanisms in neural coding
• Data sharing policies for neuroscience
• Information transfer between brain areas

His recent publications reflect advances in neurotechnology development, thalamocortical connectivity analysis, and novel methodologies for neural data interpretation.
