Lab visit description
Are you interested in brain imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation, and would you like to broaden your horizon by joining a rich and diverse hands-on research experience? Using MRI and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), we investigate the effects of motor learning and aging on the human brain. In close collaboration with your colleagues and the participants, you will support ongoing MRI and TMS research experiments, learn about various MRI research techniques, and get the chance to build a solid skillset in TMS.
You will be working with Prof. Koen Cuypers and his Ph.D. students at the university of Hasselt (REVAL).
| Duration of lab visit | Ideally 3 months, but other durations are also possible. |
| Costs covered by lab | Research material, basic facilities (internet, desk, participation to experiments and modelling), supervision |
| Costs to be covered by participants | Travel costs and accommodation must be covered by the visiting student or the sending institution. |
| Required language skills | English (Dutch is a plus) |
Scientific methods offered to the student
- Non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, tACS, etc)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques
- Advanced data analysis
Application details
Application has to contain the following documents:
