SV3M – Space and 3D context
RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am a university professor at Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier. I investigate visual mechanisms of an object’s trajectory perception, as its time-to-contact or spatial path. For this, I am using two domains :
1) behavioural measures in healthy observers under different conditions (attention, number of objects in the scene…) or with patients suffering from various pathologies to determine the implication of different brain areas in this task
2) neuro-computationnal modelling to develop a bio-inspired artificial neural network, that is, a network dealing with the known biological constraints of the brain which would be able to predict the trajectory of a ball, to ultimately confront its results to those of human observers.
