RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am a neurobiologist, working at CerCo (Research Center for Brain and Cognition) where I co-direct the SV3M (Spatial Vision in Man, Monkey and Machine) team. I investigate the visual system, in both human and non-human primates. Specifically, I am interested in the mechanisms by which the brain constructs representations of the three-dimensional environment for perception and action from the two-dimensional images impinging the retinas.
My research is based on a comparative human / monkey approach and relies on complementary technics: psychophysics, functional imaging (fMRI) and electrophysiology, whose combination allows linking visual perception to the underlying cortical networks and neural mechanisms.
