Mobile EEG and Tensor Approaches for Auditory Attention Analysis in Real-life KU Leuven
In recent years there has been considerable interest in recording neurophysiological information from humans in natural environments. With the emergence of high quality mobile EEG equipment, new EEG applications may be within reach. However, to date, the number of studies using true mobile EEG recordings in natural scenarios is surprisingly limited, which questions the feasibility of recording reliable EEG in out-of-the-lab scenarios. ...
Distributed Deep Neural Networks for Wireless Neuro-Sensor Networks KU Leuven
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a widely used, noninvasive way to measure the electrical activity of the brain. These signals can be harnessed for various purposes, including the monitoring and analysis of sleeping patterns, epileptic seizure detection and brain-computer interfaces. Traditional EEG requires patients to wear a bulky EEG cap with many wires that are connected to the acquisition device. This means that monitoring the patient’s ...
Neurophysiological mechanisms of hypoperfusion in stroke KU Leuven
Perception, action and cognition are achieved through complex functional interactions between highly interconnected regions in the brain. Blood supply plays a key role in supporting the reorganization of brain functional architecture. Thus, an abnormal blood supply in a brain area can disrupt this coordinated activity, and yields behavioural deficits, which can strongly affect people’s quality of life.
In this project, I will shed light ...

Large-scale analysis of neuronal oscillations in the human brain during resting state KU Leuven
Functional connectivity studies allow the investigation of functional interactions that occur in the brain when perception, cognition and action are required. Nowadays these techniques are mainly applied on fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MEG (Magnetoencephalography) data to retrieve brain networks, represented as maps where neuronal activity is similar and correlated. However, both fMRI and MEG acquisition systems have some ...
Gastric interoception: Towards an improved understanding of interoceptive processes within and across organ domains in healthy individuals and patients with functional dyspepsia. KU Leuven
Tabea Eimer will work in a multidisciplinary research project, funded by the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO), that examines whether interoception is a general ability that shares neural processing characteristics across multiple organ domains and that predicts affective responses. Moreover, the project will test whether altered interoceptive processing of bodily signals from different organs can explain the heterogeneity of somatic ...
Brain-Computer Interface for real-life applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
FWO Sabbatical Prof. Daniele Marinazzo Ghent University
Large scale noninvasive neuroimaging relies on advanced data analysis and statistics. In turn new data and experiments provide benchmark and validation of existing methods, as well as motivation for new methods and theories. My sabbatical leave will go in this twofold direction, at an institution which is best placed to boost this synergy. I’ll mainly focus on brain oscillations. One way of probing the function (or malfunctioning) of the ...
