Dynamics of Neural Networks

Michel van Putten studied Medicine in Leiden and Applied Physics in Delft. In 2000, he got his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Delft, and registered as a  neurologist/clinical neurophysiologist. Michel van Putten is heading the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Medisch Spectrum Twente, a large teaching hospital, and he chairs the Clinical Neurophysiology (CNPH) group at the University of Twente (utwente.nl).He is co-Founder of Clinical Science Systems, a company that develops  clinical EEG software. His research involves the pathophysiology of epilepsy, ischaemia, brain monitoring in the ICU and fundamentals of EEG generation.

“The book is for sure a valuable contribution to make understandable the concepts of neurophysiology, it’s connection to applied mathematics and the benefits of theoretical achievements for application to clinical problems.” (Claudia simionescu-Badea, zbMATH 1482.92005, 2022)
