Our systematic review on the diagnostic utility of EEG markers in Alzheimer, Frontotemporal and Lewy Body dementia is out! EEG is emerging as a cost-effective, non-invasive tool for early and differential diagnosis🧠 Read more: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40379988/ @SpringerNature

Our language neuroscience lab (evlab.mit.edu) is looking for a new lab manager/FT RA to start in the summer. Apply here: tinyurl.com/3r346k66 We'll start reviewing apps in early Mar. (Unfortunately, MIT does not sponsor visas for these positions, but OPT works.)

Great to be at @JPNDeurope meeting on digital technologies in frontotemporal dementia today. A jointly led meeting between @UCLIoN and Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam - @rhianconvery Jackie Poos. EDiT-FTD is a 1 year programme to develop a roadmap for implementation. #endftd

🚨Save the date! On February 15th 2025, we will host our 2nd annual symposium in Brussels on “Conscious and unconscious brain waves” 🧠 Meet the keynote speakers 👇 More info to follow!

On the Language Neuroscience Podcast #31, I talk with @MasudHusain, EIC @Brain1878 about his editorial "A mountain of small things". Is the mountain of small things a bigger threat to science than the reproducibility crisis? Listen and see what you think! langneurosci.org/podcast/ep31

Excited to present some key findings from our systematic review on the diagnostic utility of EEG in neurodegenerative diseases today at @isftd #ISFTD2024 🧠

Good to see several mainstream media highlighting World Alzheimer's Day 💜! Here’s a long-read on #antiamyloidtherapies (unfortunately behind a paywall) for which many Belgian neuroscientists (including myself) were interviewed demorgen.be/ts-b3a68bfd/

Counting down to @isftd in Amsterdam! Four days of immersion in all the latest research on #FTD by researchers from all corners of the world. Here are the talks and posters presented by our group, happy to contribute to this ever-growing and super-interesting conference!

Stellar work on AI, cognition, neuroscience and so much more this week @CogCompNeuro in Boston! Lots of food for thought. Congrats to Mathias Huybrechts for presenting our first ever but surely not last #CCN poster!

Slightly delayed ✈️, but heading to @CogCompNeuro ! Excited to return to Boston for the first time since my stay as a visiting postdoc in 2019. Look out for poster #C78 on Friday by Mathias Huybrechts on #language & #oscillations ! 🧠

#CCN2024 starts tomorrow! We're excited to welcome attendees to Boston. Here is a thread with some helpful know-before-you-go info for attendees.

Still some time to apply for this PhD post - it combines research and undergraduate teaching so applicants should be able to speak Flemish - sorry international community!

The world’s largest genetic FTD study,⁦@GENFI1⁩ now with over 1600 participants and >4500 visits. And such a collaborative spirit- advancing imaging, fluiic and cognitive biomarkers for next gen clinical trials. ⁦Special thanks to @jonrohrer⁩ and team in Barcelona

Yesterday was a great first day of #PsycholinguisticsinFlanders in Brussels with talks by Stéphanie De Keulenaer @DeKeulenaerS (EEG in neurodegeneration 🧠) and Rosie Coppieters (Dutch @MLSE_Study) + a fantastic keynote on #PPA by @stefanocappa - looking forward to day 2!

Exciting news!!! Apply here ✍️ We have a new PhD studentship starting in September at UCL - focusing Better Conversations with primary progressive aphasia @BCPPAphasia. With me, @BCAphasia & Dr Chris Hardy supervising. Applications due: 28th May ucl.ac.uk/pals/divisiona…

👉Blijf onze website volgen - hopelijk hebben we gauw nieuws over nieuwe PhD vacatures startende dit jaar in onze groep! 👉Keep in touch - hopefully soon more news about new PhD positions in our labs! uantwerpen.be/en/research-gr…

Interested in a PhD on the neural basis of language? We currently have two open Phd positions. One is on post-stroke aphasia: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…, and one is on developmental dyslexia: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…. Come join our team!

🧠Excited to chair the @EANeurology webinar with the excellent @BarbaraBorroni7 on #dementia and #cognition on March 13th. Featuring esteemed speakers Prof. Bruno Dubois, @M_SuarezCalvet, and @miiaKivipelto. Don't miss out! Register here: ean.org/learn/elearnin…
