Lionel Rigoux (PhD)

Position

Post-Doctorate Fellow with Jean Daunizeau in the Motivation, Brain and Behavior Team at the Brain and Spine Institute

Current Project

I am interested in the computational and neural bases of decision making and effort production. I also develop statistical tools for analysing brain-behaviour dynamics.

My current research projects include:

- normative models of motor production and decision making (and their interactions);

- dynamical system modeling of brain connectivity and brain-behaviour mapping;

- bayesian tools for the analysis of neural and behavioural data.
