► Relationships between consciousness and learning

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA) - Fonds associés (toutes subventions, y compris la Loterie Nat.) - Financement de base institutionnel.

Can we learn without consciousness ? On the other hand, what is the effect of learning on consciousness? Addressing this controversial issue forms the  ...

► Measuring Consciousness: Bridging the Mind-Brain Gap

Autres U.E..

MindBridge is a collaboration between HNRU, ULB, UKE Germany (Andreas Engel), UCL UK (Geraint Rees), ULg Belgium (Steven Laureys), and PUC Germany (Kai ...

► Modelling of the mechanisms involved in sequence learning

Financement de base institutionnel.

This project aims at developing a model of sequence learning that is able to (1) simulate the time course of information processing during serial react ...

► Comparing direct and indirect measures of learning

Autres U.E. - Financement de base institutionnel.

This study aims at exploring the role of consciousness in sequence learning, by means of adapting the two most fruitful methods of comparing direct and ...

► Neural correlates of the dynamics of learning

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA) - Fonds associés (toutes subventions, y compris la Loterie Nat.).

This project aims at identifying the cerebral regions involved in learning with and without consciousness through imaging methods (PET, fMRI and MEG).  ...

► Behavioral and brain dynamics of consciousness

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA).

Authors differ on (1) whether consciousness is a graded or a dichotomous phenomenon, and on (2) the cortical distribution of the brain regions involved ...

► Computational modeling of the learning of disjoint contingencies

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA) - Financement de base institutionnel.

This project aims at exploring the mechanisms that drive learning of disjoint contingencies (such as, for instance, involved in learning about number a ...

► Elementary mechanisms of implicit statistical learning and social cognition: A developmental approach

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA).

The mechanisms through which the child learn to master a structured set of complex stimuli is an centralissue in developmental psychology. Indeed, lang ...

► Theory of Mind and Self-Awareness

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA) - Initiatives ministérielles et autres Communauté française - Financement de base institutionnel.

What is the nature of the link between the theory of mind and the self-awareness ? Study of the development of these two abilities in infants and in bo ...

► Metarepresentation and consciousness

Initiatives ministérielles et autres Communauté française.

Certain theories of consciousness (« Higher-Order Thought theory », David Rosenthal) assume that conscious representations are representations that w ...

► Implicit learning and cognitive aging

Financement de base institutionnel.

This work focuses on (1) the implicit acquisition of sequential information depending on participants' age and (2) the influence of the amount of pract ...

► Executive control and consciousness

Financement de base institutionnel.

Control and consciousness intuitively seem intimately related. We argue however that there are conditions under which this is not the case (Cleeremans  ...

► On the role of attention in learning, memory, and cognitive control : a lifespan approach

Région bruxelloise.

This research aims at studying the role of attention in learning, memory and cognitive control in lifespan. We will bind studies on sequence learning w ...

► Priming effect on subsequent food choices: a study of the implicit mechanisms underlying eating

F.R.S.-FNRS et Fonds associés (hors FRIA).

This project aims at applying knowledge and methods from cognitive psychology to the food industry. The  specific goal is a better understanding of the ...

► Hypnosis, non hypnotic suggestion and placebo effect: Looking for the link!

Autres U.E..

The main goal of this study is to explore what are the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying hypnosis, suggestion and the placebo effect. We hypot ...
