The DUCK project: Distraction from learning by Unrelated auditory events assessed by Computational modeling and Knowledge extraction from single-trial electroencephalography (EEG) Ghent University
The human brain is remarkable capable to suppress, focus on, and switch between auditory streams, but the underlying interplay of neurophysiology and acoustics remains unclear. The DUCK project aims to develop a human-mimicking computational approach applicable in real-world learning conditions. To assess and validate the included stages of auditory processing, single-trial electroencephalography (EEG) will be used in ecological valid ...

Exploring the father’s role in succesful pregnancy and signatures of epigenetic inheritance from sperm to offspring: an approach through biostatistics and computational modeling methods. KU Leuven
The effects of a mother's environment during pregnancy on her children's health have been studied extensively. However, recent findings suggest that a father’s environment and his age before conception matters as well. This runs counter to standard thinking about heredity that parents pass down only genes to their children. An equally plausible way to leave a mark on offspring is through epigenetic inheritance. This refers to molecular ...
Unraveling stroke-induced attention deficits by combining computational modeling and brain imaging KU Leuven
Attention helps us to concentrate on what is important and not to get distracted. As such, it pervades what we see, think, remember, do and decide. It comes as no surprise that attention deficits in neurological disorders have a detrimental effect on our daily life. In the context of stroke, these deficits are strongly related to poor recovery. The goal of this project is to unravel attention deficits after stroke and their neural ...
Multi-scale Computational Modeling of Chemical and Biochemical Systems Ghent University
The chemical and biochemical sector are characterized by a wide variety of available tools for the simulation of different phenomena at various scales. An integrated approach towards kinetics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, etc… will lead to an enhanced fundamental understanding as well as a more efficient design and operation of (bio)chemical production units.

TECH-4-kOA -TECHNOLOGY-based GAIT RETRAINING FOR KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS: Computational modeling- and artificialintelligence-informed, real-life feedback on joint loading. KU Leuven
Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disease, for which no proven prevention or cure exists that reverses or slows down the disease process. Aberrant joint loading accelerates OA progression. Gait-retraining, aiming to restore normal joint loading, therefore, has the potential to slow down OA progression. Previous gait retraining was based on indirect measures of knee joint loading, measured in a lab-based environment. Furthermore, ...
Investigation of Computationally Efficient Methodologies for Spatially Distributed Hydrological Modelling KU Leuven
Methodologies for computationally efficient, spatially-distributed hydrological models have been investigated. Emphasis was given on integrating important hydrological processes and their interactions. The results were evaluated against measurements of different hydrological variables at multiple locations. The models aim to be applicable for studying the hydrological impacts of phenomena such as droughts and floods and evaluating water ...
