Investigation of behaviour by dogs prior to human epileptic seizures and potential underlying mechanisms. Ghent University
This research investigates to what extent canine behaviour, that is expressed prior to epileptic seizures in humans both by trained and untrained dogs, has a predictive value and whether olfactory biomarkers can be identified, reflective of internal changes within the patient before an epileptic seizure, that are potentially involved in this behaviour.
Epi(genetic) stability in gametes, preimplantation embryos and human embryonic stem cells with a focus on the behaviour of dynamic mutations causing myotonic dystrophy and fragile X syndrome Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Insights in the adaptive character of extra-pair paternity behaviour across human Western populations KU Leuven
When the caring and official father is not the biological one, a so-called extra-pair paternity (EPP) event occurs. After decades of speculation and many false or highly biased claims, data on EPP frequencies within contemporary human populations became available in the last decade. Although highly relevant for biologists, social scientists and forensic geneticists, estimations of EPP frequencies in past populations still remain controversial ...
Improving travel time estimation in the context of congestion by taking into account human decision behavior and road network dynamics Hasselt University
A neurocognitive platform to investigate the determinants of human behavior at the level of brain and cognition KU Leuven
The systematic study and explanation of behavior is at the core of behavioral sciences in general and of psychology in particular. Brain and cognition form two explanatory levels for understanding behavior. We aim to address the challenge to study behavior quantitatively, including its relationship with the underlying neural substrate, in paradigms that are naturalistic yet provide experimental control over the involved cognitive processes. ...

Why white matter matters: a multimodal investigation towards a better understanding of its role and function in human motor behavior KU Leuven
In many daily life activities such as buttoning up a blouse, tying your shoelaces or washing your hair, excellent coordination between the hands is crucial. During such movements, good collaboration (i.e., communication) within and between both sides of the brain is of great importance. This neural communication is accomplished via WM pathways (structural connectivity) and functional interactions between relevant brain areas (functional ...
