wetenschappelijke achtergrond
Achtergrond in onderzoek & wetenschap
Iseult heeft een academische carrière opgebouwd binnen de cognitieve neurowetenschappen, met meerdere internationale onderzoeksperiodes en een doctoraat met hoogste onderscheiding. Haar werk focuste op de manier waarop hersenen leren, herstellen en zich aanpassen — onderzocht met geavanceerde neuroimaging-technieken zoals EEG en MRI. Ze begeleidde diverse jonge onderzoekers en werkte binnen internationale onderzoeksgroepen rond neuroplasticiteit, perceptie, motoriek, traumatisch hersenletsel, veroudering en herstelprocessen.
Professionele klinische vorming
Naast haar academische traject verdiepte Iseult zich in verschillende therapeutische benaderingen binnen psychologie en traumawerk. Ze combineert klinische psychologie, systeemdynamiek, traumatherapie, neurofeedback, neuromeditatie en op hersenmechanismen gebaseerde behandelmethoden zoals Brainspotting en Deep Brain Reorienting. Door deze brede expertise kan ze interventies afstemmen op de diepere neurobiologische lagen waar verandering ontstaat.
Neurotechnologie & neurobiologische specialisaties
Iseult is gespecialiseerd in meerdere vormen van neurofeedback, waaronder infraslow neurofeedback, QEEG-gebaseerde trainingsmodellen en neurofysiologische analyse. Ze wordt regelmatig gevraagd als docent en opleider binnen professionele trainingsprogramma’s, en blijft haar kennis continu verdiepen binnen internationale netwerken van neurowetenschappers en clinici.
Wetenschappelijke bijdragen
Haar peer-reviewed publicaties behandelen thema’s zoals neuroplasticiteit, perceptie, leren, motorische adaptatie en herstelprocessen. Een overzicht van deze artikelen is beschikbaar via PubMed.
