dr.ir. J.R. Buitenweg (Jan)

Jan Reinoud Buitenweg received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering with Biomedical specialization from the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, in 1998. He received the Ph.D. degree from the same institution in 2001 after studying the electrical behaviour of the interface between cultured neurons and substrate embedded microelectrodes.

Presently, Jan R. Buitenweg is an Associate Professor with the University of Twente and principal investigator of the track Nociceptive and Somatosensory Processing of the department of Biomedical Signals and Systems.

Jan R. Buitenweg is an Associate Professor with the University of Twente and principal investigator of the research theme Nociceptive and Somatosensory Processing of the department of Biomedical Signals and Systems.

The major objective of this research theme Nociceptive and Somatosensory Processing is the development of neurotechnological, neurophysiological and psychophysical tools enabling clinical assessment, prevention and treatment of chronic pain disorders.

The research and valorisation projects in this theme focus on three neural engineering challenges of the chronic pain problem: (1) development of methods for controlled stimulation and conditioning of activity in pain related neural pathways, (2) development of methods for extended quantitative observation of functional changes of nociceptive subsystems and (3) development of mechanism based mathematical models for explaining and predicting experimental and clinical results, based on principles of neurostimulation and neurocomputational insights. All initiatives and activities are strongly driven by translational perspectives on health care innovation, in close collaboration with clinical partners, international industry and university spin-off companies
