Train Your Brain? Can We Really Selectively Train Specific EEG Frequencies With Neurofeedback Training Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Neurofeedback (NFB) is an operant conditioning procedure whereby an individual learns to self-regulate the electrical activity of his/her brain. Initially developed as a treatment intervention for pathologies with underlying EEG dysfunctions, NFB is also used as a training tool to enhance specific cognitive states required in high-performance situations. The original idea behind the NFB training effect is that the changes should only be ...
Mother-child similarity in brain morphology : a comparison of structural characteristics of the brain's reading network Universiteit Gent KU Leuven
Background: Substantial evidence acknowledges the complex gene-environment interplay impacting brain development and learning. Intergenerational neuroimaging allows the assessment of familial transfer effects on brain structure, function and behavior by investigating neural similarity in caregiver-child dyads. Methods: Neural similarity in the human reading network was assessed through well-used measures of brain structure (i.e., surface area ...
Distributing Cognition: From Local Brains to the Global Brain Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We show how the externalization of our local brain functions is leading to a planetary level intelligence, or global brain. We argue that this mechanism of externalizing cognitive functions is a fundamental driver towards an ever smarter human-machine symbiosis. We discuss implications and applications of externalizing various cognitive functions such as memory, computation, hearing, vision, brainstorming, reasoning, navigation, emotions and ...
How to train an injured brain? A pilot feasibility study of home-based computerized cognitive training Universiteit Gent
Commercializing science: Is there a university 'brain drain' from academic entrepreneurship? KU Leuven
When academic researchers participate in commercialization using for-profit firms, there is a potentially costly trade-off—their time and effort are diverted away from academic knowledge production. This is a form of brain drain on the not-for-profit research sector that may reduce knowledge accumulation and adversely impact long-run economic growth. In this paper, we examine the economic significance of the brain drain phenomenon using ...
