NPL team had a greatest pleasure of
welcoming some of the most outstanding
scientists in the fields of neuroscience and
psychology such as Dr. Yann Coello, from Lille
University (France), Dr. Paulo Boggio from
Mackenzie University (Brazil), Dr. Mário Simões
University of Coimbra and Dr. Jorge Sousa from
University of Minho as committee members for
NPL
team
member
Silvana
Costa’s
multidisciplinary PhD defense. After years of
work and never ending camaraderie and support
from an entire NPL team, Silvana Costa defended
her thesis.
Her outstanding research and expertise
helped her in securing a post doctoral position at
the world renowned Kessler Institute in New
Jersey, !USA. She will continue her research in
Multiple Scleroses while further developing her
imaging skills and developing her own
experimental paradigms.
We all wish for her to succeed in all her
future projects while she is learning the ways
of a new country as well as developing new
strategies in coping with a rather cold weather.

Impressions and
Stories of our
guests from Lille
NPL: What prompted your decision
for taking part in "Minho-Lille Integrated Masters in
Psychology Exchange Program"?
G.A.: My decision to take part into this Lille-Minho exchange
program between our departments of psychology was
motivated by a great opportunity to share experiences in a new
scientific environment and to improve my academic level and
research skills.
NPL: What are your expectations in terms of things to be learned
and experienced at NPL?
G.A.: NPL offers a chance to observe many research
approaches and techniques. One of my main expectations
would be to become familiar and proficient enough in at
least one electrophysiological technique such as EEG.
NPL: Could you identify some similarities and
differences between your home lab URECA and
NPL?
G.A.: Some similarities are research topics such as
language, emotion and behavior. I think NPL is
more involved in neuroscience and clinical studies
whereas URECA is more involved in basic/fundamental
research which is the bases for our complementary collaboration.
NPL: Did you have difficulties in adapting to your current new environment?
G.A.: We have been very well welcomed since our arrival and people are nice to us which
greatly facilitates the adaptation process. At the personal level, opening myself to other ways of
thinking and living is something that I was looking forward to when planning my visit to Braga.
This is something very challenging to me and the new environment seems to be made for it so I
hope that, with time, I will get through it.
NPL: What did you find, so far, most enjoyable in your new environment, be that the
people, overall culture, gastronomy, or educational settings?
G.A.: So far what I found the most enjoyable is discovering Braga and the area around
(landscape, city...) as well as the culture of Portugal, which is totally new to me.
NPL: What prompted your decision for taking part
in "Minho-Lille Integrated Masters in
Psychology Exchange Program"?
J.B.: I joined the exchange program to discover a new
type of research in psychology that is conducted
outside of France. I also wanted to discover
another culture and country.
! ""!
!
NPL: What are your expectations in terms of things
to be learned and experienced at NPL?
J.B.: I hope that what I learn here will help me later
in my clinical practice, such as using EEG to
develop
innovative
therapies.
NPL: Could you identify some similarities and
differences between your home lab URECA and NPL?
J.B.: The two laboratories are working on different themes: URECA is
more interested in spatial and motor cognition, while NPL, together with many other
themes, works more on the relationship between physiological processes in different
pathologies.
NPL: Did you have difficulties in adapting to your current new environment?
J.B.: I don't speak Portuguese, so it was difficult for me to understand people when I arrived
here. But now I already understand some sentences in Portuguese.
NPL: What did you find, so far, most enjoyable in your new environment, be that the
people, overall culture, gastronomy, or educational settings?
J.B.: The people here are very kind and welcoming. The food is very good too; I already tried
Francesinha and hope to enjoy it again at another lunch soon! Furthermore I made several travel
trips with the ENS Minho (association of Erasmus) and discovered some wonders of Portugal
such as Obidos, Fatima, Viseu...
NPL: What prompted your
decision for taking part
in "Minho-Lille Integrated
Masters in Psychology Exchange
Program"?
C.M.: I wanted to join this program because I wanted
! """!
!
to do a semester abroad. Another reason was to discover another psychology laboratory abroad
(1) to see how other researchers are working on the subject of psychology and (2) to have a
greater knowledge of what is happening elsewhere (3) to be able to incorporate all these
knowledge into my future clinical practice.
NPL: What are your expectations in terms of things to be learned and experienced at NPL?
C.M.: I would like to learn how to use some of the latest technologies in measuring brain
activation to provide a link between cognitive impairment and brain activity. Learn how to make
the link between brain anatomy, brain activation and cognitive impairment.
NPL: Could you identify some similarities and differences between your home lab URECA
and NPL?
C.M.: URECA laboratory researchers work more on cognitive models and not on the relationship
between brain activation and cognitive processes.
NPL: Did you have difficulties in adapting to your current new environment?
C.M.: Before I did not understand Portuguese very well, but now I
understand it better.
NPL: What did you find, so far, most enjoyable in
your new environment, be that the
people,
overall
culture,
gastronomy, or educational
settings?
C.M.: I think Portuguese are very
friendly and helpful. Food is
different but very good. Your
country is very beautiful! For culture:
I have previewed it already but I expect
to discover yet another which is the very
religious side of the Portuguese during the
Holy Week.
Conclusion: I’m really happy to be here and
more than at beginning!!!

In a friendly atmosphere for learning, brainstorming as well as
sharing knowledge and information!
The weekly lab presentations encourage our researchers to share projects they currently
have in progress. Besides preparing younger researchers for outside presentations,
brainstorming of topics allow each presenter to benefit from challenging contributions.
Discussing problems and gathering a wide range of possible solutions from every lab
member, visitor or guest, contributes to stronger and innovative approaches.

PhD !student Rosana Magalhães presented her preliminary data on “Diffusion Tensor
Imaging (DTI) analysis with MS patients”. DTI can be used to explain the impact of
white matter disease on cognitive functioning; to early detect lesions (and
therefore to assist in diagnosis) as well as to assess/monitor treatment efficacy.

PhD student Jorge Alves
presented his preliminary data
on the structural findings in AD
patients. In this presentation
he discussed how neuroimaging
can contribute to the diagnosis
of dementia and be used as an
outcome measure for cognitive
intervention trials. Regarding
this last issue we presented
preliminary evidence of a
cognitive training trial with
people with dementia.
