The Chronology project, involving four researchers, including Virginie van Wassenhove, has been awarded a grant of up to €10 million for six years.
“Implicit and explicit representations of time”
Understanding how the human brain processes time remains a significant puzzle in cognitive neuroscience. Timing is a fundamental cognitive process that transcends sensory modalities and plays a crucial role in integrating information across the senses. It is particularly relevant in audition, where the brain must make sense of complex sound […]
“Study of sequence encoding in the prefrontal cortex of non-human primates“, supervised by Béchir Jarraya and Timo van Kerkoerle
Across species, being able to process sequences is crucial for communication, from bird song and non-human primate vocalization to language in humans. While language is unique to humans, non-human primates are capable to recognize certain higher order […]
Throughout his career as a scientist and author, Stanislas Dehaene has demystified the inner workings of the mind. His writing has introduced readers to the brain’s intricate architecture, with its specialized neuronal locations and structures primed to react to language, numbers, subliminal messages, and more.
For his imaginative ability to turn complex and enthralling scientific research […]
Accounting for Perceptual Uncertainty: Characterizing Heterogeneity
We constantly face uncertainty as we perceive our environment. How we take this uncertainty into account can be understood with the Bayesian framework: our brains infer the causes of our perceptions through a two-stage process, combining sensory likelihood with prior knowledge and updating priors; with uncertainty being accounted for at […]
For over 20 years, the Robert-Debré AP-HP hospital has focused heavily on neurodevelopmental disorders, with 50% of its activity tied to this field. The InovAND center of excellence, led by Prof. Richard Delorme, and the Neuro-Diderot research unit, headed by Pierre Gressens, are key pillars in this effort. Prof. Delorme and Prof. Thomas Bourgeron (known […]
