Dave Langers' profile
I'm male and 35
What I do
In February 2001 I started a research project as a Ph.D. student in the field of auditory fMRI within the context of a collaboration between the Maastricht University, the Maastricht University Hospital, and the Eindhoven University of Technology. Various studies were performed on acquisition paradigms in auditory fMRI, the function and organization of the central auditory system in humans, and the presence of functional reorganization in the central auditory system under pathological conditions. The project culminated in the public defense of a thesis that included a selection of results. As a result, I was awarded the Ph.D. title cum laude in 2006.
Contiguously, I accepted a post-doc position at the Groningen University where, in direct continuation of this project, I carried on doing research on the central auditory system using functional MRI. In 2007, I spent a year at the Eaton Peabody Laboratory of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary / Harvard Medical School in Boston, studying brain connectivity in tinnitus patients.
