Welcome

Current position: researcher

Neurologist and INSERM Research Director at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM), Salpêtrière hospital, Paris, France.

Research field: cognitive neurosciences

I am co-head of the FrontLab team, which aims to study the functions and dysfunction of frontal systems. The Frontlab is co-led by Prof. Richard Levy and is part of the neurocognitive research activity at the Paris Brain Institute. 

My current research aims at understanding the neurocognitive mechanisms of high-level cognitive functions such as creativity, problem-solving, and reasoning: How creative ideas emerge? How do we solve novel problems or adapt to new situations?

To this aim, I use a variety of cognitive neuroscience methods, combining experimental psychology with neuroimaging approaches, such as functional MRI, brain connectivity, network sciences, voxel-based morphometry, electrophysiology, brain electrostimulation, and importantly, patient studies. I am also interested in developing clinical applications to better evaluate or predict high-level cognitive deficits in neuropsychiatric diseases.
