Congratulations to Professor Leonardo G. Cohen (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, USA) and Professor Francesco Lacquaniti (University of Tor Vergata and IRCCS Fondazione Santa Lucia, Italy) who were awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa by the Faculty of Movement Science for their exceptional career in the field of motor control and rehabilitation. At this occasion, we had the great pleasure to host them at the Institute of Neuroscience of UCLouvain and show them some of the motor control labs.
Pierre just got great news! He has been awarded a Gustave Boel-Sofina mobility grant to fund his stay in Prof. Friedhelm Hummel lab at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). Pierre will be investigating the interplay between sensory and reward feedback during motor learning and neurorehabilitation.
We recently celebrated the annual Christmas gathering of our lab! This year, Gérard invited us over for a walking dinner full of delicacies, followed by a secret Santa with loads of gifts! We had a great night!
The CoActions Lab is already sending you their best wishes for the end-of-year celebrations and a lot of success for the new year 2020 !
Fanny Fievez got a grant from the Belgian Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) involving 3 years of funding and the possibility to complete her thesis. Her goal is to better understand the functional role of motor inhibition, focusing on interactions between cognitive and motor processes.
