Short bio

After a masters degree in Cognitive Science (Cogmaster) in Paris (France), I completed my PhD in Toulouse (France) under the supervision of Leila Reddy and Rufin VanRullen on the flexibility of perceptual representations. I investigated behavioral and neural consequences of short and long-term learning on visual perception, the neural dynamics of visual processing, and the neural representations of visual objects.

Following my PhD I went on investigating how we flexibly use such mental/neural representations for goal-oriented behavior, and cases in which these processes fail. Through a collaboration with Laura Dugué, at the INCC (Paris) I studied behavioral and neural markers of attentional deployment and re-orientation. I then held a post-doctoral position at the Neuroergonomcs & Human Factors lab at ISAE-Supaéro (french Institute of Space and Aeronautics) investigating methods to monitor attentional resources, cross-modal attentional allocation and mental workload with Frederic Dehais and Raphaëlle Roy.

I currently hold a post-doctoral position at the Department of Experimental Psychology of Ghent University (Belgium). I work with Tom Verguts, Durk Talsma and Nico Boehler on cognitive control. Through computational modelling, and behavioral and neuroimaging experiments I investigate the mechanisms through which we can quickly implement a novel instruction by discarding distractors, selecting task-relevant information, and binding stimuli and responses to perform the instructed task.
