My research in cognitive neuroscience investigates different aspects of self-consciousness and subjective experience, using neuroimaging and behavioral methods.

During my PhD with Dr Catherine Tallon-Baudry (ENS, Paris), I studied the neural monitoring of cardiac signals, as a physiological mechanism underlying self-consciousness. Then, I looked at how subjective experience can entail egocentric spatial representations, in the context of a virtual museum visit, during my post-doc with Prof Patrick Haggard (UCL, London).

I also have experience with MEG and intracranial EEG, acquired during my PhD and during my post-doc with Dr Nathalie George (Paris Brain Institute) and Prof Aina Puce (Indiana University).

Currently, I am a post-doc with Prof Olaf Blanke at the LNCO, and I am working on action, memory and first/third person perspective.

Single neurons in the thalamus and subthalamic nucleus process cardiac and respiratory signals in humans

Aesthetic experience enhances first-person spatial representation

The neural monitoring of visceral inputs, rather than attention, accounts for first-person perspective in conscious vision
