First PhD graduate from BRAINS-lab: Melina defends PhD on “The neural correlates of bimanual motor learning“
We are excited to announce that Melina has successfully defended her PhD titled “The neural correlates of bimanual motor learning: neurometabolites, synaptic density, and effective premotor-motor connectivity”, supervised by Professors Koen Cuypers, Stephan Swinnen, and Raf Meesen. This marks a significant milestone as the first PhD completion from the BRAINS-lab. Her research, conducted over the past four years, has provided valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underlying motor learning.

Before her defense, external jury member Prof. Charlotte Stagg also gave a Meet the Jury lecture, sharing recent research findings of her group and interesting on “Multimodal Approaches to Studying Human Movement“. This provided an excellent opportunity to interact with one of the top experts in this field.
