Projects
The intentional inhibition of action Ghent University
The project investigates the neural mechanisms of the intentional inhibition of action. It combines research on motor inhibition and social psychological research on self control.
Diagnostics and recovery of neuromotor function following a traffic accident in children: study of neural structure-function relations with respect to movement coordination. KU Leuven
Bilateral Alliance for Translational Science in ADHD (BATSA) Ghent University
Research collaboration between the University of Southampton and Ghent University in the field of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). BATSU is organized around three inter-related research programs (i) genetic and environmental determinants of ADHD (ii) electrophysiological studies of brain attentional mechanisms in ADHD and (iii) reward and delay processing in ADHD: Experimental and imaging approaches.
The neural basis of visual object perception during visuospatial navigation. KU Leuven
Cognitive processes associated with proprioceptive information processing in the elderly: age-related neural overactivation and compensatory recruitment. KU Leuven
Cognitive control over action in the aging brain: patterns of cortical over-activation and their underlying mechanisms. KU Leuven
Not acting isn't doing nothing. Ghent University
The ability to voluntarily refrain from behaviour is extremely relevant in our highly interactieve and social environment tnat does not leave room for strong impulses. However, research on response inhibition has primarily focused on externally induced inhibitory control.We have recently started to investigate the neural basis and functional mechanisms of voluntary inhibition of an ongoing behaviour (self control) and voluntary decision not ...
Broken mirron neurons in autism spectrum disorders? Exploration of a partial deficit and/or neuronal connectivity problems within the mirror neuron system. KU Leuven
Abstraction in category representations KU Leuven
In everyday life, people constantly classify objects, individuals and situations in categories, in order to make the world more comprehensible and predictable. While most researchers agree that an item is categorized based on its similarity to a category representation, they do not agree on the exact nature of the category representation. Some believe that a category is represented by all of the members of the category they have previously ...
