Caroline Schnakers
C.Schnakers@student.ulg.ac.be PhD student, graduated as a neuropsychologist from the University of Liège and joined the Coma Science Group in 2002. She has been deeply involved in the validation and teaching of the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised within the federal network on VS and MCS and has recently developed a freely available DVD for educational purposes on the diagnosis and assessment of chronic disorders of consciousness. She was also trained to use the Sensory Modality Assessment and Rehabilitation Techniques (SMART; a specialized behavioral tool for VS and MCS) at the Royal Hospital of Neuro-disability, London. She also has an expertise in electrophysiology and investigates its interest in the detection of early signs of consciousness in coma survivors. Caroline is financed by the “Fonds Léon Fredericq" (www.fondsleonfredericq.be) and the Belgian National Funds for Scientific Research (FNRS) (www.fnrs.be).
