Dopaminergic reward signals selectively decrease fMRI activity in primate visual cortex KU Leuven
An fMRI study investigating the determinants of cooperation in social dilemmas. University of Antwerp
Numerical cognition: contributions from fMRI research on attention and working memory Ghent University
Using fMRI we examine the relationships between parietal resources implicated in number processing and others involved in spatial attention and working memory. We focus on two lines of research: 1. how spatial attention and working memory provide support for number processing and 2. how neural resources that represent numerical order contribute to the processing of serial order in working memory.

The neural basis of the executive functions response selection and memory updating by means of ERP and fMRI Ghent University
The brain is known to comprise an executive control system which enables goaldirected behavior. The question whether executive control is a unitary system, was recently introduced as a possible way to address the theoretical issues around executive control. The purpose of this experimental research project is to investigate whether executive control can be fractionated into a number of executive functions.
Visuospatial working memory: insights from fMRI studies on mental imagery and attention Ghent University
Using fMRI we aim to dissociate within the neuronal network of visuospatial working memory potential subdivisions between (1) a visual versus a spatial component, and (2) the maintenance versus the manipulation of information. In addition this neuronal network will be compared to the neuronal correlates of attention shifts, whether or not accompanied by eye movements.
