As part of Coralie Rouge’s PhD defence (ULB), supervised by Professors Alec Aeby and Charline Urbain, and within the framework of the Connex seminar series, the Center for Research in Cognition and Neurosciences (CRCN) and the Laboratory of Neuroanatomy and Neuroimaging (LN2T) are pleased to welcome Professor Margot J. Taylor, an internationally recognised expert in paediatric brain imaging.
The lecture will focus on recent advances in magnetoencephalography (MEG) using Optically Pumped Magnetometer (OPM) sensors, an innovative technology that enables researchers to study brain activity in very young children under developmentally appropriate conditions.
The research presented will explore brain function in children aged 1 to 5 years, including young children with autism spectrum disorder, and will highlight the relationships between brain activity and cognitive, social and behavioural development.
This lecture is intended for researchers, physicians, psychologists, neuropsychologists, students and anyone interested in developmental neuroscience and paediatrics.
