Congratulations to Goldy who got a postdoctoral grant from the Belgian Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) involving 3 years of funding.
The project is aimed at exploring neural oscillatory mechanisms underlying skill transfer/generalization and retention. This work involves a combination of behavioral assessments, TMS and EEG recordings to uncover the neurological basis of human motor skill performance. Our goal is to use closed-loop TMS-EEG technique to target specific phases of the sensorimotor neural oscillation that may be critical for skill memory consolidation and subsequently modulate transfer of a newly learned skilled movement. We believe this will further our neuroscientific knowledge of human skill behavior, as well as help us assess the efficacy of the closed-loop TMS protocol (as compared to traditional TMS protocols, such as rTMS).
Fanny has recently been awarded a WI-World Excellence Grant 2022 which will fund a three-months research exchange in Prof. Ignasi Cos lab at the Universitat de Barcelona, in Barcelona (Spain). Fanny will be investigating the interaction between the control of decision and movement speed.
Shiyong Su joined the CoActions Lab shortly after finishing her PhD in Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. During her Ph.D., she was granted by an International Exchange Program to work in the lab of Prof. André Mouraux at UCLouvain. As a postdoc in our lab, she aims to investigate the role of the arousal system in the joint control of decision and movement speed.

Welcome to the lab!
Gerard Derosiere has been nominated as 1 of the 9 "Faces of the Future" by the Society for Psychophysiological Research (SPR). He will give an invited talk in Vancouver about his work at the CoActions lab on September 30, 2022. According to the SPR, "Faces of the Future talks aim to highlight 9 outstanding young scientists that have already produced highly impressive work in the domain of psychophysiology”.
Congrats Gerard!
