Anouck Matthijs investigates the role of the cerebellum in age-related deficits in motor control (co-promotor is Dante Mantini)
Anda de Witte investigates the role of the cerebellum in age-related deficits in motor control (co-promotor is Jolien Gooiers
Stien Van De Plas will investigate how somatosensory function influence motor control in different clinical and non-clinical populations. She will also use EEG to do so. (co-promotor is Dante Mantini)
Britt Vandendoorent looks into the effect of tDCS on sensorimotor control in Parkinson’s Disease (main promotor is Alice Nieuwboer)
Silke Kerstens focuses on the understanding of the mechanisms of tDCS (co-promotor is Myles Mc Laughlin)
Frea Deroost works on the effect of aging on bike ability. Co-promotor is Friedl De Groote
Jef Leplae works on the effect of aging on bike ability. Co-promotor is Friedl De Groote
Charlotte Heremans focuses on improving sensorimotor impairments in stroke patients withing the ROBUST project (main promotor is Geert Verheyden)

Matheus Maia Pacheco works on the effect of reward on motor adaptation. He will also used EEG to understand the neural substrate of motor adaptation. Collaboration with Dante Mantini
Mareike Gann investigates motor memory consolidation with TMS and fMRI (main promotor is Genevieve Albouy)
Manasa Parthasharathy works on the use of EEG to quantify age-related deficits in sensorimotor control (main promotor is Dante Mantini)
Guy Rens worked on action observation in the context of object prehension.
Koen Vandevoorde was the first PhD student of the Lab. He worked on the impact of aging on motor adaptation.
Veerle De Rond uses fNIRS to study weight shifting in young and elderly participants (main promotor is Alice Nieuwboer)
Leen Saenen develops new techniques to quantify sensorimotor impairments in stroke patients (main promotor is Geert Verheyden)
Pauline Hermans investigates the effect of aging, Parkinson’s Disease and reward on motor adaptation (co-promotor is Alice Nieuwboer)
