Linda Douw

I’m a neuroscientist, trying to make sense of our brain. I like the brain for all its complexity, and try to understand more of it by using graph theory. This theory-governed but still data-driven approach allows for investigation of how the brain works on multiple scales and with several imaging modalities. I’m particularly interested in using these methods to improve diagnosis and treatment in neuro-oncology and epilepsy, and always try to relate the abstract topology of the brain network back to behavior.
