Tansu Celikel is Chair of the Donders Institute and Professor of Neurophysiology at Radboud University Nijmegen. His group works towards a system level description of the neural circuits that process sensory information, and their plasticity to determine how adaptive changes in neural representations are translated into cognition and action. His research topics include, but are not limited to, control of synaptic transmission and neural growth, structural and functional organisation of neural circuits, quantitative analysis and targeted control of brain plasticity, molecular control of network function, analytical study neural information processing, in silico (hardware and software) network models, close-loop neural control in robotic and virtual environments, neurotechnology: novel method development.
