RESEARCH INTERESTS
I’m an epileptologist and the head of the Clinical Neurophysiology unit at Toulouse University Hospital. My research is focused on the correlations between brain, behaviour and electrophysiology. I work on several projects :
⦁ how to reduce the cognitive impact of epilepsy surgery (ACTELIN and MEMSTIM projects).
⦁ how to identify the epileptogenic network through intracerebral recordings using both standard depth electrodes and micro-electrodes (EPIFAR project).
⦁ how to extend epilepsy neurosurgery to children using new surgery techniques.
