Research Interests:
Keywords: psychophysics, visual perception, saccades, active vision, reading, attention
Before 1999, my main reseach interests concerned the spatio-temporal integration of low level motion signals. (link to publications)
For instance, I studied some perceptual illusions
After 1999, I worked on the interaction between visual perception and saccadic eye movements (Active Vision). In order to investigate this broad issue, I followed the following axes:
A/ Low Vision and visual deficits (often in relation to eye movements) (link to publications)
Natural Reading, Face recognition
Development of innovative visual aids and rehabilitation methods
B/ Reading (with and without eye movements) in normally-sighted subjects + visuo-motor control (link to publications)
C/ Stable perception of the world despite a non-coherent retinal inflow. (link to publications)
How can we perceive the world in a coherent way although our eyes are continuously moving around at very high speeds thanks to saccades ? What are the respective roles of visual and extra-retinal factors ?
D/ Dynamics of the coupling between attention and eye movements. (link to publications)
What are the relationships between visuo-attentional processes and saccadic eye movements? What is the temporal dynamics of these processes?
