Mantosh obtained a 4-year doctoral fellowship from the Belgian FNRS. June 2023

Congratulations to Mantosh on being awarded a 4-year prestigious FNRS FRS Aspirant fellowship to complete his PhD in the CoActions Lab. The proposed research aims to investigate the causal role of sensorimotor mu-alpha phases in modulating corticospinal circuits during rest, movement preparation, and reinforcement learning. By employing cutting-edge EEG-TMS techniques, Mantosh will explore the relationship between mu-alpha phases and corticospinal excitability in young adults. Divided into three work packages, the research will provide insights into the phase-dependent modulation of corticospinal excitability during different motor contexts. The findings will contribute to our understanding of the functional relevance of mu-alpha rhythms in human motor behavior. This achievement marks an important step in advancing motor behavior research.
