Yesterday was a great first day of #PsycholinguisticsinFlanders in Brussels with talks by Stéphanie De Keulenaer Stéphanie De Keulenaer (EEG in neurodegeneration 🧠) and Rosie Coppieters (Dutch MLSE) + a fantastic keynote on #PPA by stefano cappa🇪🇺 - looking forward to day 2!

The world’s largest genetic FTD study,⁦GENFI⁩ now with over 1600 participants and >4500 visits. And such a collaborative spirit- advancing imaging, fluiic and cognitive biomarkers for next gen clinical trials. ⁦Special thanks to Jon Rohrer⁩ and team in Barcelona

Still some time to apply for this PhD post - it combines research and undergraduate teaching so applicants should be able to speak Flemish - sorry international community!

#CCN2024 starts tomorrow! We're excited to welcome attendees to Boston. Here is a thread with some helpful know-before-you-go info for attendees.

Slightly delayed ✈️, but heading to CogCompNeuro ! Excited to return to Boston for the first time since my stay as a visiting postdoc in 2019. Look out for poster #C78 on Friday by Mathias Huybrechts on #language & #oscillations ! 🧠

Stellar work on AI, cognition, neuroscience and so much more this week CogCompNeuro in Boston! Lots of food for thought. Congrats to Mathias Huybrechts for presenting our first ever but surely not last #CCN poster!

Counting down to International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias in Amsterdam! Four days of immersion in all the latest research on #FTD by researchers from all corners of the world. Here are the talks and posters presented by our group, happy to contribute to this ever-growing and super-interesting conference!

Good to see several mainstream media highlighting World Alzheimer's Day 💜! Here’s a long-read on #antiamyloidtherapies (unfortunately behind a paywall) for which many Belgian neuroscientists (including myself) were interviewed demorgen.be/ts-b3a68bfd/

Excited to present some key findings from our systematic review on the diagnostic utility of EEG in neurodegenerative diseases today at International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias #ISFTD2024 🧠

Interested in the utility of EEG for early / differential diagnosis of dementia? Check out latest preprint from our unit (tinyurl.com/22xrzaz4): medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

On the Language Neuroscience Podcast #31, I talk with Masud Husain, EIC Brain about his editorial "A mountain of small things". Is the mountain of small things a bigger threat to science than the reproducibility crisis? Listen and see what you think! langneurosci.org/podcast/ep31

🚨Save the date! On February 15th 2025, we will host our 2nd annual symposium in Brussels on “Conscious and unconscious brain waves” 🧠 Meet the keynote speakers 👇 More info to follow!

Great to be at JPND Research meeting on digital technologies in frontotemporal dementia today. A jointly led meeting between UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam - Rhian Convery Jackie Poos. EDiT-FTD is a 1 year programme to develop a roadmap for implementation. #endftd

Our language neuroscience lab (evlab.mit.edu) is looking for a new lab manager/FT RA to start in the summer. Apply here: tinyurl.com/3r346k66 We'll start reviewing apps in early Mar. (Unfortunately, MIT does not sponsor visas for these positions, but OPT works.)

Our systematic review on the diagnostic utility of EEG markers in Alzheimer, Frontotemporal and Lewy Body dementia is out! EEG is emerging as a cost-effective, non-invasive tool for early and differential diagnosis🧠 Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40379988/ Springer Nature
