The laboratory is directed by Isabelle BERRY and Gregor THUT.
Isabelle Berry is a university professor and hospital practitioner, and former Deputy Vice-President of Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse. A neuroradiologist, she accompanied the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging into medicine in Toulouse after spending 2 years at the start of her residency at the University of California in San Francisco in 1984. As a second-speciality nuclear physician, she acquired a broad overview of medical imaging techniques and continued her research into the imaging of cerebral ischaemia and then multiple sclerosis, participating in the multicentric harmonization of these biomarkers for use in clinical trials.
Gregor Thut has joined the Research Centre Cerveau et Cognition (CerCo) and CNRS as Director of Research in 2024. He has trained at the Swiss Institute of Technology Zurich and the University of Geneva as PhD and post-doc), at Harvard Medical School, Boston (as fellow) and then worked at the University of Glasgow, where he has been Director of a Cognitive Neuroimaging Centre and Full Professor on a Research and Teaching track. He is interested in brain oscillations and how they regulate sensory input and modulate visual perception, including confidence and awareness. He has used correlative (EEG, MEG) and causative approaches (TMS, tACS) to address these questions with mostly a cortico-centric perspective. At CerCo, he is collaborating with experts using new approaches with thalamic reach.
