Dr. Michael Tangermann

Biography

Michael Tangermann is an Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence at Radboud University and serves as a Principal Investigator at both the Donders Centre for Cognition and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. He specializes in developing fundamental machine learning algorithms to address challenges arising from applied time series data obtained from neural recordings and behavioral measurements. His work extensively involves high-dimensional, noisy, and non-stationary signals that present specific complications in decoding algorithms. Tangermann's research includes using electroencephalogram (EEG), stereoelectroencephalography (sEEG), electrocorticogram (ECoG), local field potentials (LFP), magnetoencephalogram (MEG), and electromyogram (EMG) signals from external devices, along with behavioral data from motor and language tasks. He applies these methodologies in creating closed-loop neurotechnological systems that interact with the nervous system, such as brain-computer interfaces for communication, control, and rehabilitation, including adaptive deep brain stimulation systems for patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders. His research themes focus on Language Communication and Brain Computer Interfacing.
