Quentin Noirhomme
Quentin Noirhomme PhD Engineer, received the Applied Mathematics Engineering degree and the Ph. D. degree from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) Louvain-la- Neuve, Belgium in 2001 and 2006 respectively. He made his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor B. Macq at the Communications and Remote Sensing Laboratory. During the year 2003, he was a visiting scientist at the Biomedical department of Imperial College London where he worked under the supervision of Professor R. I. Kitney. His Ph.D was on localisation of brain functions using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephalography (EEG). In collaboration with the team of Professor E. Olivier (UCL/NEFY), he conceived a software to localise the TMS point on a subject MRI in real-time. Enabling fast and accurate localisation of the stimulation. He then turned on developping a Brain-computer Interface (BCI) based on a neurophysiological prior: the reconstructed sources of brain activity. During the summer 2005, he made a short incursion in the musical world by leading a project on a Biologically driven musical instrument at the eNTERFACE'05 workshop.
From 2006 to 2007, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Electrical NeuroImaging Group of Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (Geneva, Switzerland). He worked on a steady-state visually evoked potential BCI which enabled to control a virtual wheelchair and to be virtually present in the lab of Professor M. Nuttin (Leuven, Belgium) through a robot called Maktub. He also worked on the detection of Very High Frequency Oscillations in EEG spectrum for diverse applications.
In 2007 he joined the Coma Science Group at the University of Liège where his research interests are on the processing of functional neuroimaging (EEG, PET, fMRI and TMS) and BCI.
