We have a new paper out!

Max van Migem, Daniele Marinazzo and Gilles Pourtois have just published a paper on the dissociable effects of attention and prediction on visual processing, have a read!

Our research on the influence of top-down influences on the C1 ERP component highlights the importance of methodical and analytical factors on the detection of attentional effects on the C1, indicati...

We have a new research intern, Pauline Maelfait!

Durng her internship, she will examine how motivational factors influence attention during attention-focused tasks, combining behavioural and EEG methods.

It has been our real pleasure to host Kamela Cenka at CAPLAB. We enjoyed her smile, curiosity and trust in mirror neurons, neuroplasticity and DMN 😉 We hope that our paths will soon cross again. Meanwhile, we wish Kamela all the best for what comes next, including a PhD defence in 2026 in Bologna!
