Research
Research
How do we search for creative ideas? My doctoral project explores goal-directed processes during creative idea generation in both healthy and clinical populations. Combining behavioral, fMRI, and intracranial EEG approaches, I investigate how we manipulate internal representations to produce creative ideas.
This research has two main objectives: mechanistically characterizing creative idea search processes, and examining potential generative impairments in schizophrenia to better understand understudied symptoms such as formal thought disorders.
Background
Background
My interdisciplinary training bridges science and humanities: I earned a Master's degree in Cognitive Science (École Normale Supérieure, 2024), medical degree with psychiatry training (Sorbonne University, 2020), and Art History studies (Sorbonne University, 2017). I serve as Scientific Consultant for Outs[AI]der (GHU Paris Psychiatrie et Neurosciences, Health Data Hub). I am also interested in transcultural perspectives and have clinical experience in diverse contexts from migrant and sex worker populations to military settings in Dakar, Senegal.
