Background Audrey Vanhaudenhuyse obtained her graduate degree in psychology from the University of Mons-Hainaut in June 2006. Over the course of her studies, she delivered a research dissertation on the representations of self in patients affected by schizophrenia at the Lyon Institute of Cognitive Sciences. She has been working for three and a half years at the Coma Science Group at the University of Liège’s Cyclotron Research Centre. Her main centre of interest is the study of residual cerebral functions in patients in a coma, in a vegetative state or in a state of minimal consciousness. Thanks to techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and to behavioural evaluations carried out at the patients’ bedsides, she studies the mechanisms of conscious perception in patients with severe brain lesions.
