Emmanuelle Wilhelm

MD, PhD Student

emmanuelle wilhelm 140x180 Emmanuelle is a MD (Neurology Assistant Doctor) who, during her medicine studies at the Université catholique de Louvain, joined the CoActions lab as a research student (2012 - 2016). Over that time, she worked on preparatory motor inhibition, mainly in alcohol-dependent patients, but also helped to develop a new double-coil TMS method (cfr. Innovation section). She started her PhD thesis in October 2016. Her goal is to investigate the role of the basal ganglia in motor inhibition, working with medically treated and DBS (Deep Brain Stimulation) treated Parkinson’s patients.
