Adélaïde de Heering is a faculty member at the Centre for Research in Cognition & Neurosciences (CRCN) and a professor at the faculty of psychology and education at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Belgium. She considers herself a neuro-developmentalist interested in brain plasticity. So far, this interest has taken the forms of experimental investigations and theoretical conceptualization, touching on the question of the origin, development, and plasticity of the brain.

​

She examines brain plasticity from two complementary perspectives. The first perspective is typical development with a special interest for infant research and the lifespan approach. The second perspective is atypical development with the investigation of the impact of visual deprivation on the brain (blindness, cataract-reversal patients) and braille reading.
