dr. Wouter De Baene

Bio

I am an associate professor in the Department of Cognitive Neuropsychology @ TSB. I have a background in Experimental Psychology and Neuroimaging (Master and PostDoc @ Ghent University; PhD @ KU Leuven).

My  research focuses on the link between brain anatomy, brain functioning and cognitive functioning, both in healthy and clinical populations. For this I use different neuroimaging techniques (e.g. diffusion weighted imaging; resting state fMRI; task fMRI) and several analyses techniques (e.g. machine learning; tractography; graph theory; multivariate pattern analyses; lesion symptom mapping).
