March 24th, 2026New paper! We are pleased to share that our new paper, titled:“Age-specific relationship between the modulation of brain dynamicsin response to task demands and bimanual performance“ This study highlights the potential role of BOLD variability modulation in shaping bimanual performance during aging. While younger adults appear to benefitfrom neural stability, older adults mayContinue reading
October 31st, 2025Dr. Shanti Van Malderen Shanti successfully defended her Phd titled: “The aging cerebellum: how differences in inhibition and neurometabolite levels relate to motor function” We are incredible thankfully to work with Shanti in the past years. She is a true team player and we will mis her unending positivism.
July 7th, 2025New paper alert! We are pleased to share that our new paper, titled:“Cerebellar Brain Inhibition and Its Association with Motor Inhibition and Reaction Time in Younger and Older Adults”, has been published in ‘The Cerebellum’.We used dual-site TMS to examine resting cerebellar-brain inhibition (CBI) and its link to motor performance across age groups.Continue reading
December, 7th, 2022 Hussein Youssef – Bilateral scientific collaboration awarded! We are happy to announce that Hussein Youssef was awarded a grant for a bilateral scientific cooperation between Koç University and Hasselt University under the promotorship of Prof. Atay Vural and Prof. Koen Cuypers. In this project, that will be carried-out at the REVAL research center (UHasselt), Hussein will use anContinue reading
