Gaétane Deliens is a Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology at the Faculty of Psychology, Université Libre de Bruxelles. She co-leads the interdisciplinary ACTE (Autism in Context: Theory and Experiment) research group, the first dedicated to autism in French-speaking Belgium. Her research focuses on communication impairments and language delays in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Key Research Areas:
- Language acquisition in autism
- Sensory integration and pragmatics
- Sleep-dependent memory consolidation
- Neurocognitive mechanisms in communication disorders
- Methodological innovations for hard-to-test populations
- Labs:
- UR2NF (Neuropsychology and Physiological Research Unit)
- ACTE autism research group
Her recent publications emphasize sleep's role in memory reconsolidation, theta-band brain connectivity in autistic children, and audiovisual integration challenges in nonverbal autistic populations. She employs novel methods to study low-functioning and motor-impaired individuals, expanding traditional autism research boundaries.
