Alcohol dependence: neurofeedback, a promising therapeutic complement
February sees the start of alcohol-free month in Belgium. Alcohol dependence remains a major public health challenge, with high relapse rates despite treatment. Clémence Dousset, FNRS researcher at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), explores neurofeedback: a complementary method that offers patients the chance to become actors in their own recovery by learning to regulate their brain activity.
Towards a New Generation of Human-Inspired Language Models
Can a computer learn a language the way a child does? A recent study published in the leading journal Computational Linguistics by professors Katrien Beuls (University of Namur) and Paul Van Eecke (AI Lab, Vrije Universiteit Brussel) sheds new light on this question. The researchers advocate for a fundamental revision of how artificial intelligence acquires and processes language.

In search of ice millions of years old
Belgian scientists from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) have returned from an expedition to Antarctica near the Princess Elisabeth Station, with blue ice samples and data that could lead them to ice millions of years old, providing valuable information on the evolution of the Earth's climate in the past.
