About us

The INFlab was founded in 2008 by Huib Mansvelder as part of the CNCR and faculty of Earth and Life Sciences at VU University. The INFLab has strong research ties with the VU Medical Center and the Netherlands Institute for Neurosciences in Amsterdam.

Our latest activities

Fast neural computation at the basis of cognition

The speed at which the human brain processes information is higher than in other animal species. Neuroscientist René Wilbers discovered that by examining millions of brain cells collected from a live sample of brain tissue.

ERC Advanced grant awarded to Huib Mansvelder

Huib Mansvelder, professor and head of the department of Integrative Neurophysiology at VU Amsterdam, received the prestigious European Research Council Advanced Grant this week. This is the largest personal research grant in Europe.

CNCR researchers receive funding for Brain Initiative

The American National Institute of Health will fund new brain research of three CNCR researchers at VU Amsterdam through the so-called Brain Initiative programme. Brain research is desperately needed to better understand and treat brain diseases.
