Prof Dr Bernadette Jansma, Ph.D. (B.M.)

Bernadette is scientific member of the "Brain and Language Group", Maastricht Brain Imaging Center. The group investigates the neural mechanisms of language use (speaking, reading, writing). We collaborate with Dyslexia institutes and with medical experts when it comes to problems in language use. Bernadette focuses on Speech production and intercept between language and other senses.
