I received my Ph.D. in Psychology in 1994 (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, EHESS, Paris, France; supervisors: Juan Segui and Jonathan Grainger). Just before (1991), I received an advanced master degree in Cognitive Science (EHESS, Paris). From december 1994 to december 1995, I did a post-doc at the University of Birmingham (UK) with Professor Glyn Humphreys. Then I started to work as a CNRS researcher at the Laboratory of Experimental Psychology (Université René Descartes, Paris 5) from 1995 to 2006. In september 2006, I moved to the Laboratoire de Psychologie Sociale et Cognitive (CNRS UMR 6024), Université Clermont Auvergne (UCA), France.
