DIES NATALIS 2024
Ook al startte ons eerste academiejaar in 1973 en is dat jaar voor UHasselt het werkelijke begin, op 28 mei 1971 werd onze universiteit bij wet opgericht en bijgevolg is die datum onze Dies Natalis (geboortedag). We vieren met de plechtige uitreiking van eredoctoraten en een universiteitsconcert.

Professor dr. Michael Nitsche
is the head of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience of the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors at the TU Dortmund University.
Throughout his impressive career, exemplified by over 400 publications, Professor Nitsche has delved into the domain of neuroplasticity triggered by non-invasive brain stimulation, providing a deep comprehension of the complex mechanisms of the human brain. His groundbreaking and pioneering research not only enhances our understanding of brain function but also holds significant applications in psychology, medicine, and rehabilitation.
Drs. Sybren Van Hoornweder
is a PhD candidate at Hasselt University’s Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences (Belgium). Sybren’s expertise lies in electric field modeling, combined noninvasive brain stimulation and electroencephalography approaches, and data analysis. His research focuses on innovative methods to counter variability in the field of brain stimulation.
Professor dr. Miles Wischnewski
is currently at work as an assistant professor at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands). His goal is to understand the causal relationship between neural oscillations and human cognition and behavior, from decision-making, to motor learning, to visual processing. To that end, Professor Wischnewski uses several neuromodulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic, direct current, and alternating current stimulation, combined with electroencephalography.
.
dr. Carys Evans
is a postdoctoral researcher at Radboud University in the Netherlands. Her research focuses on the therapeutic potential of non-invasive neuromodulation, with a particular interest in how we can maximise the efficacy of neuromodulation through individualised stimulation protocols. Her key methods include transcranial direct current (tDCS), magnetic (TMS), and ultrasound (TUS) stimulation.
