Mes enseignements en neurosciences cognitives visent à offrir une formation à la fois théorique et méthodologique sur l’étude scientifique du cerveau et de la cognition. Ils abordent des cadres conceptuels majeurs, notamment le paradigme des 4E (embodied, embedded, extended, enactive cognition), tout en introduisant les méthodes expérimentales et quantitatives utilisées en recherche (statistiques avancées, programmation scientifique, imagerie cérébrale telle que l’IRM fonctionnelle). Ils sont à la destination d'étudiant.e.s de Licence et de Master de biologie (UFR Sciences & Techniques), de psychologie (UFR Arts et Sciences Humaines) et de médecine (UFR Médecine).
Exemple de cours proposés:
- Nouvelles théories de la conscience à la lumière de la recherche sur les psychédéliques
- Impact de l’intelligence artificielle générale sur la cognition humaine
- Construction et évaluation de la pensée critique
- Introduction à la programmation scientifique (R, Python)
- Introduction à la conception d’expériences avec PsychoPy
- Bases neurocognitives de l’autisme
- Méthodes statistiques avancées en neurosciences
- Introduction à l’imagerie cérébrale (IRMf)
Thèmes de recherche
Mes principaux domaines de recherche concernent l'imagerie cérébrale, hier sur les schizophrénies et aujourd'hui sur l'autisme, et ce via l'utilisation des sciences cognitives, et de la neuroimagerie (l'électroencéphalographie [EEG] et l'imagerie par résonance magnétique fonctionnelle [IRMf]).
