Research topics
My research aims at understanding the mechanisms underlying visual perception and recognition of complex visual stimuli such as scenes, faces or objects. I am interested in how we use low-level characteristics of sensory inputs to efficently achieve recognition and how this may be modulated by prior knowledge and expectations about the visual environement. To study these questions, I use complementary techniques such as psychophysics, eye-tracking or neuroimaging.
Main research Axes :
- Influence of predictive processes on subjective visual perception - ANR EXPER 2023-2027
- Use of eye movements to investigate cognitive (dys)functoning
Collaborators : Nathalie Guyader (GipsaLab), Anne guérin (GipsaLab), Michel Dojat (GIN), Carole Peyrin (LPNC) - Mapping and functional role of visual subcortical structures
Collaborators : Christa Müller Axt (MPI-CBS), Katharina von Kriegstein (TU-Dresden) - Mechanisms of scene categorization
Collaborators : Carole Peyrin (LPNC), Alan Chauvin (LPNC)
