&lt;h2 id="research-project"&gt;Research Project&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ronan&amp;rsquo;s project is concerned with identifying &lt;strong&gt;neural sources of preparatory inhibition&lt;/strong&gt;. The research will use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in combination with Instructed Delay Choice Reaction Time Tasks in humans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="background"&gt;Background&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent research has led to the discovery of preparation-related suppression of corticospinal tract excitability, known as &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;preparatory suppression&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;. Despite these advances, motor evoked potentials (MEPs) produced by single pulse TMS over primary motor cortex (M1) have limited ability to test competing perspectives on the functional role of preparatory suppression.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="research-plan"&gt;Research Plan&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ronan has proposed a comprehensive set of experiments organized in &lt;strong&gt;3 work packages (WP)&lt;/strong&gt; using:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electroencephalography (EEG)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These tools will help improve understanding of the neural source of preparatory suppression and aid future efforts to parse out the function(s) of the effect in behavior for both healthy and clinical populations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="impact"&gt;Impact&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fellowship represents a significant recognition of Ronan&amp;rsquo;s contributions to neuroscience and his innovative approach to understanding the neural mechanisms of motor control and inhibition.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Professor Jonathan Tsay's Invited Talk on Sensorimotor Learning - June 2024</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/blog/jonathan-tsay-talk-2024/</link><pubDate>Tue, 04 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/blog/jonathan-tsay-talk-2024/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Professor Jonathan Tsay was invited to give a talk on June 4th at 12:30pm, which was held at Auditoire Maisin, Louvain-en-Woluwe.

&lt;h2 id="presentation"&gt;Presentation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His presentation was titled &lt;strong&gt;&amp;ldquo;Behavioral, Neuropsychological, and Computational Perspectives on Sensorimotor Learning&amp;rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt;, exploring the behavioral, neuropsychological, and computational dimensions of sensorimotor learning, with a special focus on his innovative work developing online experimental environments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="social-gathering"&gt;Social Gathering&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the talks, we enjoyed a delightful dinner with Prof. Tsay at a beautiful venue overlooking the scenic views of Brussels. The dinner provided an excellent opportunity for lively discussions and networking in a relaxed setting.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>CoActions Lab PhD Students Present at IoNS Young Researchers' Day - April 2024</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/blog/ions-young-researchers-2024/</link><pubDate>Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/blog/ions-young-researchers-2024/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Mantosh and Clara from the CoActions Lab made a notable impact with their presentations at the IoNS Young Researchers&amp;rsquo; Day, held at the Brussels Woluwe campus of UCLouvain on April 30th, 2024.&lt;/p&gt;

## Research Overview
Research broadly explores a range of questions pertaining to the cognitive neuroscience of human behavior.
### Research Focus
Conduct experiments to explore the interaction between cognition and action in neurologically healthy and impaired individuals. Use a variety of techniques to characterize the functional role of different parts of the motor pathways, including:
- **Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)**
- **Functional and Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)**
- **Electroencephalography (EEG)**
### Current Research Directions
Recent research investigates the role of the **locus coeruleus** in various aspects of action control, including:
- Reaching movement control
- Decision making
- Behavioral vigor
- Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) to causally probe this neuromodulatory system
### Key Interests
- Decision-Making
- Motor Control
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Action Preparation
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
- Behavioral Vigor
- Locus Coeruleus</description></item><item><title>Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-vassiliadis-striatum/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-vassiliadis-striatum/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Relationship between transcranial magnetic stimulation markers of motor control and clinical recovery in obsessive compulsive disorder/Gilles de la Tourette syndrome: a proof of concept case study</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-quoilin-ocd/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-quoilin-ocd/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;type: publication&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Subthalamic DBS does not restore deficits in corticospinal suppression during movement preparation in Parkinson's disease</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-wilhelm-parkinson/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-wilhelm-parkinson/</guid><description/></item><item><title>Task goals shape the relationship between decision and movement speed</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-fievez-goals/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/publications/2024-fievez-goals/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;type: publication&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>QuantumML: Machine Learning for Quantum Materials Discovery</title><link>http://coactionslab.com/projects/quantum-materials-design/</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>http://coactionslab.com/projects/quantum-materials-design/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="project-mission"&gt;Project Mission&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The QuantumML project aims to revolutionize materials discovery by combining quantum mechanical calculations with advanced machine learning to identify novel quantum materials with tailored electronic, magnetic, and optical properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="scientific-challenge"&gt;Scientific Challenge&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quantum materials exhibit exotic properties like superconductivity, topological insulation, and quantum magnetism that could enable:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MoleculeAI is a comprehensive machine learning platform designed to revolutionize small molecule drug discovery. By integrating cutting-edge AI models with experimental validation, we&amp;rsquo;re reducing the time and cost of identifying promising therapeutic compounds from years to months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="research-motivation"&gt;Research Motivation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traditional drug discovery takes 10-15 years and costs $2.6 billion per approved drug, with a 90% failure rate. Our platform addresses key bottlenecks:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;CancerSeq AI represents a paradigm shift in precision oncology, using artificial intelligence to analyze complex genomic data from cancer patients. Our goal is to identify personalized treatment strategies by understanding tumor evolution, drug resistance mechanisms, and patient-specific biomarkers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="clinical-motivation"&gt;Clinical Motivation&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cancer remains a leading cause of death globally, largely due to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tumor Heterogeneity&lt;/strong&gt;: Diverse cell populations within tumors respond differently to treatment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Drug Resistance&lt;/strong&gt;: Cancers evolve to evade therapeutic interventions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment Selection&lt;/strong&gt;: Limited tools for choosing optimal therapy combinations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biomarker Discovery&lt;/strong&gt;: Need for predictive markers of treatment response&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our AI-powered approach addresses these challenges through comprehensive genomic analysis and machine learning-driven insights.&lt;/p&gt;
