Aphasia represented in the Flemish media. Wishing #brucewillis all the best! #aphasiaawareness #aphasia #brain

Bruce Willis heeft afasie. Maar wat is dat eigenlijk? En hoe kunnen de🧠onze vragen helpen beantwoorden? In mijn EOS-blog (danku SciMingo & Eos Wetenschap vzw) geef ik een kijkje achter de schermen van ons onderzoeksteam! 👉eoswetenschap.eu/psyche-brein/w… FWO ExpORL KU Leuven

Today is international Parkinson disease awareness day🎗️ Discover here how our researchers work hard in finding a cure for this devastating brain disease 🧠 cbd.vib.be/labs/verstreke… gbiomed.kuleuven.be/.../research/5… labcelltransport.com/peter-vanghelu… #LeuvenBrainInstitute #InternationalParkinsonDay

.Klara Schevenels 'In ons onderzoek bestuderen we aan de hand van MRI twee “snelwegen” die centraal staan in taalverwerking. We gaan na of bepaalde kenmerken van die snelwegen voorspellend zijn voor de taaluitkomst van personen met afasie.'🧠

Last weekend, we organised a warm get together for our #aphasia participants and their partners. We presented our results, but also sang popular songs together. So much fun Klara Schevenels Jill Kries PieterDeClercq Lauren Blockmans Maria Economou Mara Barberis Wouter David Ramtin Mehraram, Ph. D.

Een taalstoornis na een beroerte: in welke mate kan je daar nog van genezen? Klara Schevenels (KU Leuven) wil patiënten met zo’n taalstoornis een betrouwbare prognose geven over het herstel van hun taalvermogen. Ontdek hier hoe ze dat wil doen: kennismakers.be/taalherstel-vo…

You can call me doctor now! (jk) Hats off to the best (co-)supervisors, a fruitful collaboration with UZ Leuven, the contribution of many many volunteers, the support of ExpORL KU Leuven colleagues, and the help of more students than I can count on both of my hands. #thankyou

Benjamin Dieudonné got selected for the finals of the SciMingo Flemish PhD cup🥳 That means you only have 1 important task today: vote for Benjamin! phdcup.be/stemformulier

Huh❓Sorry❔ What🆘 Understanding speech is a very complex neural process. We investigate #brain signals to find out whether (or not) you understand #speech! We've been challenged by @kuleuven and VLIR to tell our PhD story in a #ThesisThread. Here's mine! #scicomm #wecom

Team aphasia presented their work on neural envelope tracking of natural speech in aphasia (Pieter De Clercq Jill Kries Ramtin Mehraram, Ph. D.) and the prediction of language recovery and associated neuroplasticity in aphasia (Klara Schevenels Maaike Vandermosten) 🧠 at the #AphasiaJuniorDays

I'm happy (and a bit nervous) to announce that my first #aphasia paper is finally out there! :)

What a heartwarming day. Our research team, together with volunteering students, organised an aphasia day with a creative session (moodboards), communication games, speed dating and singing together. So much love, openness and appreciation of the participants ❤️

New paper alert❗️ EEG-based estimations of speech-in-noise understanding nicely correlate with traditional behavioral measurements in children, which looks very promising for our development of clinical objective measures of speech understanding. 🧠👂sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
