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!

We have submitted two preprints this week, summarising our work in sEEG over the last 5 years. The first, led by François, describes how evidence accumulation taking place in the mid-fusiform cortex serves perceptual consciousness. The second, led by Dorian, describes how post-decisional evidence accumulation in the insula is used to form confident judgements and enables changes of mind.

Nathan will be a visiting professor at Chapman University (CA, USA) for the next three months, as part of the Scholar Exchange Agreement between Chapman University and CNRS. One of the goals is to develop new research lines with Uri Maoz and Aaron Schurger regarding the scientific study of consciousness.
