In the news
- Dutch below - Today is #WorldStrokeDay. Stroke remains one of the leading causes of disability worldwide🧠. Though stroke is one of the main topics of research conducted in our lab, we may still underestimate how life-altering a stroke is for many people around the globe. 💡Recognizing a stroke and acting quickly and accordingly are crucial for preventing and minimizing post-stroke disability. #ActFAST, because every minute counts. Learning the signs of stroke today, may change a life tomorrow. With thanks to World Stroke
- Onze lableden gaan een sportieve uitdaging aan voor het goede doel: geld inzamelen voor de strijd tegen kanker met Kom op tegen Kanker🎗️! Onze PhD onderzoeker Roos Malpart doet onderzoek naar de psychologische & cognitieve gevolgen van (een behandeling voor) een hersentumor🧠, en draagt nu ook haar steentje bij door deel te nemen aan de 10km van Leuven Marathon. Wil je ons mee ondersteunen? Je kan een donatie doen aan Kom op tegen Kanker via onderstaande link. Elke donatie, hoe klein ook, telt! Samen zijn we sterker dan kanker🎗️
- We hebben gisteren een erg inspirerende dag gehad op het #NAHcongres georganiseerd door Hersenletsel Liga vzw en Sig vzw in Brugge! We kregen de kans om samen met een publiek van zorgverleners, onderzoekers, patiënten én hun familieleden lezingen bij te wonen over de nieuwste wetenschappelijke en praktijkgerichte inzichten rond niet-aangeboren hersenletsel🧠. Het programma was gevariëerd en relevant, met onderwerpen zoals kwaliteitsvolle zorg na beroerte, toepassingen van niet-invasieve hersenmodulatie, en de laatste innovaties
- Dutch below - It was our pleasure to join the 2026 Annual Meeting of Organisation for Psychological Research Into Stroke (OPSYRIS) held at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK!📌 Our PhD students Elise Palmans, Emma Goris en Ibe Couwels connected with stroke researchers and clinicians from all over the UK and Europe to join discussions centered on emotion and cognition after acquired brain injury🧠. While Elise presented some of her latest results on post-stroke executive deficits, both Emma en Ibe presented posters of
- We successfully completed our first scanning session on the new fMRI scanner at UZ Gasthuisberg! 🧠 The test session went very well, and we are excited to soon start data acquisition for Emma Goris’ study. In this study, Emma will perform a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment while undergoing fMRI. This provides us a unique opportunity to study the neural correlates of cognitive functioning in vivo. Very exciting to see this project moving towards data collection! 🚀 Leuven Brain Institute, NeuroSPACE
- Help our colleague Simon Ladouce by filling out this questionnaire about smart glasses and AI-powered wearable cameras. There is also a Dutch version! 👓
- Congratulations to our postdoctoral researcher Joyce Bosmans on presenting her latest research at EWIC 2026 in Leiden! Her presentation explored the importance of the vestibular system for spatial learning and offered a behind-the-scenes look at conduction spatial learning research in humans, including both the successes and inevitable challenges. The talk sparked engaging discussions with fellow researchers.
