Our two first sEEG studies conducting in Grenoble are now both out in Nature Communications! The first, led by François Stockart, describes how evidence accumulation taking place in the mid-fusiform cortex serves perceptual consciousness. The second, led by Dorian Goueytes, describes how post-decisional evidence accumulation in the insula is used to form confident judgements and enables changes of mind. And there’s more to come!

We are excited to welcome three new members to our team! Camille Grasso joins as a postdoc to study the electrochemical correlates of consciousness. Yael Mazin joins as a PhD student to research auditory consciousness during sleep. Raphaëlle Semin joins as a PhD student to explore metacognition during sleep. Welcome to all of you!

We are now starting a new project called volta, funded by an ERC Consolidator grant until 2030. Our goal is to document electrophsyiological and electrochemical correlates of consciousness using stereotactic-electroencephalography. There will be open positions for PhD students and postdocs. Stay tuned!

Our Metaction project, funded by an ERC Starting Grant, has come to an end. A summary of the research we conducted over the last 6 years will soon be available. We are extremely grateful to the European Council for their continuous support.

Congratulations to Francois Stockart who brillantly defended his PhD entitled Electrophysiological and Computational Study of the Role of Evidence Accumulation in Perceptual Consciousness. He will soon start a postdoc position at Yale University. Best of luck!

There’s nothing more gratifying than seeing former team members become independent researchers. This year, Marie Chancel, Dorian Goueytes, and Jeanne Caron-Guyon obtained permanent research positions all over France! We warmly congratulate them, and look forward to future collaborations!
