Learning disorders & immersion education in Belgium

Chloé Parmentier

PhD researcher

UCLouvain, Psychological Sciences Research Institute

Limited research exists on the inclusiveness of immersion education for pupils with learning disorders. I conducted studies investigating whether pupils with dyslexia or AD(H)D may also benefit from immersion education or if their reading or attention issues make immersion a risk. My findings suggest no measurable disadvantage for these pupils to attend immersion education, neither for foreign-language learning, nor for acquiring academic content. Also, there is no strong evidence that dyslexia or AD(H)D could be further detrimental for reading or attention skills of immersed pupils.

Superconductivity and neuroscience

Raquel Fernández Martín

Postdoc

Université libre de Bruxelles

Is there any relation between physics and neuroscience? In this talk I will bring you from the more theoretical part of physics, more specifically I going to explain you what superconductivity is, to the neuroscience world. My research focus on computational neuroscience, in particular in epilepsy. The traditional way to detect epileptic spikes relies on visual inspection which is time consuming and dependent of subjective human criteria. I'm interested in the development of new signal analysis methods, as machine learning approaches, to detect epileptic spikes in a fully automatically way.
