Benoit Cottereau

Bio

/

Benoit is a CNRS research director at the Cerco laboratory where he co-directs the SV3M (Spatial Vision in Man, Monkey and Machine) team. He is also the co-responsible of the neuroscience master program of Toulouse III University. He was trained as a signal processing engineer and completed a PhD in multi-modal neuroimaging in the LENA laboratory (CNRS UPR 640, Paris) and a post-doctoral internship in visual neurosciences at Stanford University. His research aims at understanding spatial vision from a multi-model (human, monkey, machine) and trans-disciplinary (behaviour, neuroimaging, modelling) approach. His work has numerous clinical applications (e.g., for patients suffering from visual pathologies such as macular degeneration) and technological outputs (e.g., for developing artificial vision systems).
