After a Master degree in cognitive neuroscience, I obtained a grant to pursue a PhD in the same field at Aix-Marseille University in 2010. During my 4 years of PhD, I studied the brain activity involved in language production based on cognitive models. I learned electrophysiology, using the signal extracted from scalp sensors (EEG) but also from electrodes directly implanted inside the brain of patients suffering from drug refractory epilepsy (intraEEG; iEEG). I analyzed the electrophysiological responses elicited in picture naming tasks. Thanks to its unique spatiotemporal resolution, the iEEG method allowed us to expand standard cognitive model of word production when we discovered an unexpected involvement of the hippocampus in the picture-naming network. This discovery opened a new door of research interests for me, at the frontier between language and memory.

​

After my Ph.D, I obtained two short-term grants to keep studying language production and to learn the transcranial direct current stimulation method (tDCs) at University of Queensland, Brisbane. This project aimed to better understand which brain regions are involved in the semantic interference observed during picture naming.

​

At the end of 2015, I started my Postdoctoral fellowship at Oslo University where I joined the first iEEG program of Scandinavia, in collaboration with the Knight Lab at University of California Berkeley. During my stay, I studied working memory and its interference, using iEEG but also EEG recorded from patients suffering from brain lesions.

​

Following my 3 years at Oslo University, I joined the Knight Lab where I pursue my research in working memory and develop new projects in the fields of prediction in language comprehension and interpersonal communication. 

​

My long-term interests are in continuation with my current projects and combine psycholinguist theories, psychology and cognitive neuroscience and focus on the different aspects of verbal communication: oral language comprehension, verbal working memory, and the perception of emotions. 

I am now working with the IPNP Paris and FEMTO ST Besançon to develop projects addressing the relationship between the auditory perception of emotions and consciousness.

My expertise encompasses the ability to conduct behavioral and electrophysiological experiments from beginning to the end. Design of scientific questions, implementation of protocols, managing of healthy participants and patients, data analysis and statistics, and writing scientific reports and grants are part of my skills.
