WELCOME AVGUSTINA! --------------- Avgustina Kuzminova was awarded a FRIA grant from @frsFNRS to start her PhD thesis, under the supervision of @ValeryLegrain. Her project aims to investigate how we locate pain on our body. ---------------

CONGRATS VLADIMIR! --------------- Vladimir Aron was awarded a FRIA grant from @frsFNRS to pursue his PhD thesis on the impact of physical exercise on nociception and pain. ---------------

CONGRATS GIULIA! --------------- Giulia Liberati (@70Hertz) received an incentive grant (MIS) from the @frsFNRS to start a research project on the neuromodulation of pain-related ongoing oscillations.

CONGRATS VALERY! --------------- Valéry Legrain (@ValeryLegrain) was awarded a research credit (CDR) from @frsFNRS to initiate his research project on the impact of cognitive factors on the spinal transmission of nociceptive stimuli. ---------------
