Validating a mental lexicon derived from a large-scale word association project KU Leuven
Semantics is at the core of any language-based activity in our society but arguably one of the most complex aspects to study. To gain a deeper knowledge in how word meaning is processed and stored in human memory, several lexico-semantic models have been proposed. These models have been proven to be instrumental in a number of lines of research, ranging from purely theoretical questions, such as atypical word processing, the structure and ...
Upper limb sensory processing: development of a robotic paradigm KU Leuven
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and disability in the world. Following stroke, upper limb motor and somatosensory impairments are frequently present. In the acute stage after stroke, up to 50% of survivors show exteroceptive impairments, and up to 63% show proprioceptive and sensory processing impairments. Exteroception is the detection of touch, pain, and temperature on the skin. Proprioception is the detection of joint position ...
