Dr. Jaap Murre is Professor of Theoretical Neuropsychology. In 1999, he was one of the first psychologists in the world to test subjects via the Internet. Since then, his web-based tests have been complete more than 100,000 times. From 2001 to 2008, he held a Endowed Chair in Computational Models of Cognition at the Artificial Intelligence Department of Maastricht University. In 1998, he received a prestigious NWO PIONIER grant to establish a research group at the University of Amsterdam. Following his Ph.D. on learning and categorization in neural networks (1992, Leiden Univ.), he worked as a scientist at the MRC Applied Psychology Unit in Cambridge (UK) until 1995. He holds two Master’s degrees (Exp. Psychology and Exp. Phonetics, both obtained in 1987 from Utrecht Univ.). Dr, Jaap Murre studies human learning and forgetting and neural plasticity. The effects of brain lesions on cognitive functioning have been a recurrent topic of his research, including retrograde amnesia and semantic dementia. Much of his work involves simulations with artificial neural networks and mathematical modeling.
