Marcel van Gerven is a professor of Artificial Cognitive Systems and chair of the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour at Radboud University. He is recipient of an NWO Vidi grant. His lab focuses on understanding the computational basis of cognitive processes and the development of machines that interact with their environment in a meaningful way. The lab studies the brain in naturalistic settings and develops sophisticated statistical and brain-inspired machine learning approaches (neural networks, Bayesian modeling and reinforcement learning). Furthermore, computational models created in the lab are used to drive new advances in cognitive computing, neural data analysis, brain-computer interfacing and neurotechnology.
