4 Generations
- Here is a photo taken in 2005 showing 4 'generations'. It is a bit complicated...
On the left you see Charles de Weert, who was my undergrad supervisor. Charles was a undergrad of professor Maarten A. Bouman, standing next to him. Maarten Bouman was also the PhD supervisor of my PhD supervisor Wim van de Grind (the right of me) and Jan Koenderink (right of Wim).
Jan Koenderink was het PhD supervisor of Susan te Pas (next to Jan on the right). Susan was also a post-doc with Charles de Weert and a co-supervisor of Chris Paffen (sitting next to Ryota Kanai). Both Ryota Kanai and Chris Paffen were supervised by me. Go to www.neurotree.org if you don't get it anymore...
