Overview

Cyriel M. A. Pennartz is affiliated with the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Their research primarily addresses various aspects of neuroscience, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience, cellular and molecular neuroscience, and sensory systems. Additional subfields include experimental and cognitive psychology as well as artificial intelligence.

The scientist's work extensively covers key topics such as neural dynamics and brain function, olfactory and sensory function studies, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, memory and neural mechanisms, visual perception and processing mechanisms, and functional brain connectivity studies.

Pennartz has published numerous articles, with recent papers that include:

  • An integrative, multiscale view on neural theories of consciousness (2024, Neuron)
  • How deep is the brain? The shallow brain hypothesis (2023, Nature Reviews Neuroscience)
  • The continued need for animals to advance brain research (2021, Neuron)
  • Multisensory task demands temporally extend the causal requirement for visual cortex in perception (2022, Nature Communications)
  • Indicators and criteria of consciousness: ethical implications for the care of behaviourally unresponsive patients (2022, BMC Medical Ethics)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Pennartz include Jorge F. Mejías, Umberto Olcese, Pietro Marchesi, Matthijs N. Oude Lohuis, and Sander M. Bohté. These partnerships reflect a sustained collaborative approach within their research community.

The most common venues for their publications are:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Cerebral Cortex
  • Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • PLoS Computational Biology
