Jean-Jacques joined the lab in 2007 as a postdoc, after having completed his PhD in the Laboratory of Neurophysiology at Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. Jean-Jacques mastered the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in our lab, and made important contributions to the theory of temporal discounting and motor control. His research provided new insights into the role of the motor cortex in motor adaptation and generalization. He subsequently was appointed Assistant Professor at Université Catholique de Louvain.
