Carlos Sandoval Puentes

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering in Mexico, and then moved to Nijmegen to pursue a Master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience, with a specialization in Natural Computing and Neurotechnology. Currently, as a Research Assistant in the Systems Neurology Lab, I focus on applying data analysis techniques to better understand the progression of Parkinson’s Disease, with a particular emphasis on tremor.

I research the dopamine responsiveness profile in patients with resting tremor by analyzing fMRI data and clinical scores. I employ methods such as Dynamic Causal Modeling and classification algorithms to predict individual patients’ responsiveness profiles. Ultimately, I aim to contribute to improving tremor treatment through more personalized approaches.
