Functional connectivity and oscillatory neuronal activity in the human brain KU Leuven
Perception, cognition and behaviour are achieved through the coordination of multiple brain regions, which exchange information between each other. Despite enormous recent progress, our understanding of the dynamic long−range neuronal communication between distant regions in the brain is still very limited. In this project we will develop a methodology for imaging brain networks using electroencephalography, which provides a direct measure of ...
Individual variability in functional human brain organization Ghent University
No two humans are alike. Since our personality, behaviour and cognitive skills are governed by the brain, one would be equally hard-pressed to find two human brains that are completely identical. Yet virtually every functional neuroimaging study aggregates brain scans across all participants in their sample. While this approach yields an easily interpretable map of brain regions commonly activated by the mental process(es) of interest, it ...

Beyond the p-value: improving the balance between sensitivity and specificity for functional localization in fMRI data Ghent University
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a non-invasive technique to capture brain
activity, is getting increasingly important in psychological research. Nowadays, instead of the whole brain, researchers are particularly interested in the activation pattern of very specific brain regions of interest (ROI). So-called localizer tasks, executed after the main task of interest, are used to define functional ROIs (fROIs) in each subject ...
