Driving oscillatory activity in the human response inhibition network to reveal the critical role of the brain areas contributing to motor inhibition KU Leuven
The ability to inhibit responses is an essential and fundamental component of cognitive control over action. The pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA), right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) have been identified as the key nodes in the brain network supporting response inhibition, but their relative position within the network and functional role in stopping are still unclear. Furthermore, not much is known about ...

Beyond localisation: Neural networks of knowledge and cognitive control in the human brain Ghent University
Knowledge and cognitive controle are studied by means of fMRI, EEG, TMS and computational modelling. The research goes further than localising cognitive functions in the brain and emphasizes how the brain functions as a system. It will also be investigated how networks develop through learning, Netwerk of knowledge and control will be integrated.

Speech Processing Techniques for Automatic Detection of Disorders in the Human Brain KU Leuven
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to interpret and manipulate language. In this project, we apply NLP to spontaneous speech obtained in cognitively normal elderly persons and in patients who are in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. We investigate to what extent NLP features of speech are related to individual brain properties: regional volume, functional connectivity and ...
The impact of radiotherapy on the human connectome and neurocognitive outcome in pediatric brain tumor patients: towards neurocognitive-guided treatment optimization KU Leuven
In this project, we aim to detect the extent of neurotoxic impact of both XRT and PBT on the brain connectome and
neurocognitive functioning in pediatric brain tumor patients. Susceptibility and functional importance of brain
areas is investigated, by implementing a state-of-the art multimodal neuroimaging protocol combined with
neurocognitive assessments
