IOF GEAR: Artificial Intelligence from bench to bedside in neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Sebastiaan Engelborghs
Mental Health and Wellbeing research group, Neurology, Electronics and Informatics, Supporting clinical sciences, Surgical clinical sciences, Clinical sciences
Our unique research consortium is composed of excellent preclinical and clinical researchers, which guarantees
the chances of success of our neurotranslational research, with the aim of developing novel diagnostic and
therapeutic strategies for neurological, neurosurgical and mental disorders and better understand mechanisms of
cognition and behavior. Cognition is the central theme that unites all our preclinical and clinical ...

Developing better prevention strategies, faster detection methods and treatments in the following medical fields: cardiology, oncology, gynecology / fertility, infectious diseases, anesthesia / neurology, orthopedics. Hasselt University

Piet STINISSEN
Immunology & Infection, Immunology - Biochemistry
The Limburg Clinical Research Center (LCRC) is a unique collaboration between UHasselt, the Jessa Hospital and Hospital Oost-Limburg. By bridging the gap between academic research and clinical practice we want to improve healthcare. Through patient-oriented medical-scientific research we look for innovative solutions to needs from daily clinical practice. As an internationally oriented academic-medical knowledge center in Limburg, the LCRC wants ...

Molecular imaging for the evaluation of pathophysiology of the neurologic, cardiovascular and hepatobiliary system in small animals Ghent University

Christian Vanhove
Department of Electronics and information systems

Over the last 100 years, biomedical imaging has developed from simple two-dimensional X-ray imaging into a compendium of powerful multi-dimensional imaging techniques and has progressed in four distinct ways:

  • Standardized protocol allowing quantitative imaging
  • Innovations in medical devices
  • Innovations in imaging analysis
  • Innovations in imaging agents

Rsearch results related to these ...

Image-based appearance metrology KU Leuven

Frédéric Leloup
Informatics Section
The appearance impression of a product comes from its various attributes, such as the colour and gloss. For quality control purposes a comprehensive evaluation of these attributes is mandatory in several application fields and industries. To this end, standardized methods and metrics have been introduced. However, with the technical innovations e.g. made in the printing and paint industry, today new effect pigments and gonio-apparent coatings ...

Topographic fidelity in optical surface metrology KU Leuven

Han Haitjema
Mechanical Engineering Technology, Group T Leuven Campus
In this project research into the topographic fidelity in optical surface measurement will be carried out. For this, several known and probably new techniques will be investigated and methods to improve the topographic fidelity will be researched and applied. This will be carried out on instrumentation already present, but also new instruments may be designed, or add-on's to already present instrumentation may be designed. The ...

Neurological turn Ghent University

Gertrudis Van de Vijver
Department of Philosophy and moral sciences

This project within ideology critique and political philosophy assesses the impact of the U+201Cneurological turnU+201D in the fields of politics and culture. The central hypothesis is that the neurological turn re-confirms the psychological paradigm as it in a close analogy to psychologisation entails a neurologisation. The three research domains are: psychology as a science, culture (especially cyberculture) and politics ...

Neurological biomarkers in predicting upper limb function and treatment effects in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. KU Leuven

Hilde Feys
Research Group for Neurorehabilitation (eNRGy), Translational MRI, Locomotor and Neurological Disorders
Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) face many sensorimotor impairments and limitations in their arm and hand function. In this project, we will use state-of-the art technology including brain imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation to identify which neurological biomarkers best predict upper limb (UL) function in children with unilateral CP. This proposal is triggered by the current inability to provide well-targeted UL treatment ...

An exoskeleton emulator to accelerate fundamental research on human-robot interaction and its application to improve walking abilities in aging and neurological populations KU Leuven

Friedl De Groote
Human Movement Biomechanics Research Group, BioMechanics (BMe), Robotics, Automation and Mechatronics (RAM), Research Group for Neurorehabilitation (eNRGy), Locomotor and Neurological Disorders
Orthoses are well-established in the treatment of gait disorders. Wearable robotic devices or exoskeletons are more recent and their appearance has created large expectations with respect to improved mobility. Yet designing exoskeletons that improve walking ability has been hindered by our limited insight in human-robot interactions. Our consortium shares the goal of improving human movement through such wearable robotic devices. However, ...

Research in the field of the neurological and musculoskeletal movement analysis. University of Antwerp

Ann Hallemans
Movement Antwerp (MOVANT)
"Life is animation. To live is to move. For humans, movement is essential for our survival" Efficient movement is complex and requires an ultimate integration of balance control and movement coordination. An interesting approach to gain insight into these processes of motor control is the neuromechanical concept. This concepts stresses the interaction between the neural processes and the biomechanical laws of motion that together shape the ...
