Long biography

 After attending an inspiring master’s course on the putative role of neuronal oscillations in the coding of information, I decided to move toward this exciting field of research. My research journey in neuroscience began with studying oscillatory dynamics in rat memory networks during my master's internship under Dr. Guillaume Ferreira and Dr. Nadine Ravel. For my PhD at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences Marc Jeannerod, I shifted to human research under Dr. Jean-Baptiste Van der Henst and Dr. Ira Noveck, investigating alpha oscillations in reasoning inhibition through Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and Electroencephalography (EEG) experiments. I then secured a Fyssen Foundation post-doctoral grant to work with Prof Ole Jensen at the Donders Institute, where I spent six years studying alpha oscillations' role in functional inhibition. In 2016, I obtained a permanent INSERM position at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL) in the Dycog team (led by Dr. Olivier Bertrand), followed by an ERC starting grant (2017-2023) and Atip-Avenir label.

In 2021, Dr. Jérémie Mattout and I established the Computation, Cognition and Neurophysiology group (COPHY). Our group combines researchers and engineers with diverse expertise to develop integrated computational models of behavior and brain dynamics in active perception, driving innovation in both theory and methodology. Our group combines expertise in multiple brain investigation techniques including:

  • * High-resolution magnetoencephalography and Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs)

  • * fMRI

  • * Intracranial recordings in humans and monkeys (through collaborations)

  • * Simultaneous laminar fMRI-EEG

  • * Computational, neural mass, and deep/spiking neural network modeling
