Jérôme Tagu

Brief Overview:

I am working as an associate professor at the Laboratory of Psychology of the University of Bordeaux (Bordeaux, France).

 Before that, I did a post-doc at the Icelandic Vision Lab of the University of Iceland (Reykjavik, Iceland), where I worked with Prof. Árni Kristjánsson. I also have worked as a research and teaching fellow at the Laboratory of Psychology Caen Normandie of the University of Caen Normandie (Caen, France). I obtained my Ph.D. at the Vision Action Cognition Laboratory of Paris Descartes University (Paris, France) under the supervision of Prof. Dorine Vergilino-Perez and Prof. Karine Doré-Mazars.

I am teaching cognitive psychology at the Institute of Education of the University of Bordeaux.

In my research, I am interested in:

• Visual attention and eye movement control

• Individual differences in visual exploration (strategies used during visual foraging, oculomotor behavior)

• Lateral preferences (handedness, ocular dominance)

• Functional asymmetries (e.g., lateralization of visuo-spatial attention, lateralization of global and local processing of visual information)
