Jeanne Caron-Guyon joined the team as a postdoctoral research fellow to study perceptual consciousness during sleep using stereotactic electroencephalography. Her previous work evaluated the perception and cerebral processing of multisensory motion perception in both rats and humans, and in healthy and visually-impaired participants. For rat experiments she used electrophysiological unit recordings and voltage-sensitive dye imaging, and in humans psychophysics and fMRI. To understand the processes underlying motion perception, she combined both univariate and multivariate decoding techniques (neuronal and MVPA).

Marie Chancel starts a postdoc position in the team focused on the determining factors of metacognitive failures. Her previous work investigates multisensory processes involved in self-body perception via psychophysics, computational approaches, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological technics. In December 2016, she defended her PhD titled “Rules of multisensory integration in kinesthesia and their evolution with aging: Psychophysics & Bayesian approaches”, made under the supervision of Pr. Anne Kavounoudias and Pr. Michel Guerraz.

After obtaining his master degree in cognitive science at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris Dorian completed a Ph.D in the field of Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs) at the Paris-Saclay Neuroscience Institute (NeuroPSI). He has a background in electrophysiology, optogenetics and closed-loop systems applied to motor control. His expertise concerns the physiology of the sensorimotor system as well as the plastic processes involved during motor learning. In the lab he is now researching the neural correlates of metacognition in the context of perceptual decision-making using invasive electro-encephalography.

After a Master in Neurosciences in the University of Geneva, Lucien did a PhD on the effect of electroconvulsive therapy on brain structure and function in patients with treatment-resistant depression. He developed strong expertise in the analysis of volumetric and quantitative neuroimaging data (in vivo measurement of myelin, water and iron content). In the lab, Lucien will investigate metacognition in individuals with schizophrenia with EEG in collaboration with Paul Roux from Versailles hospital.

Michael joined the team as a post-doctoral fellow with a mobility grant from the Swiss National Fund. He has a strong experience in signal processing and neuroimaging techniques, including scalp and intracranial electroencephalography (EEG/iEEG), concurrent EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI), concurrent EEG and transcranial alternating current stimulation (EEG-tACS) and intraoperative single neuron microelectrode recordings for (MER). In the lab, Michael will investigate the subcortical mechanisms of first and second-order perceptual processes, in collobaration with the University Hospital in Grenoble and West Virginia University.

Lise obtained her master’s degree in neuropsychology and clinical neurosciences at University Grenoble Alpes in Grenoble. She studied emotion in bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease. She is now completing her PhD funded by the CBH Graduate School surpervised by a pluridisciplinary team: Céline Souchay, Nathan Faivre (cognitive psychology and neurosciences), Aïna Chalabaev and Estelle Palluel (sports science). Her work consists in developping new tasks to better characterize metacognition in motricity and sports.

Audrey got her master’s degree in Engineering at ICAM Engineering School in Toulouse, France. She also spent one year at the Politecnico in Milan, Italy. Her end of studies project is about data processing and interpolation in C/C++. She spent 2 years as an IT analyst at Thales Alenia Space, then joined EDF as a control systems engineer, working in France, Germany and French Guiana. She is also a co-founder of AMASAI, a consulting practice for ethical uses of data science and artificial intelligence technologies.

Lucile is a Master’s student in Cognitive Sciences in the ‘Natural and Artificial Cognition’ degree, co-founded by Phelma INP and Grenoble Alpes University. She investigates the neural mechanisms of perceptual consciousness during sleep. More specifically, this involves exploring how neural correlates of consciousness in wakefulness transfer to different sleep stages, using sEEG recordings in patients with epilepsy.

Pauline is a certified neuropsychologist with a Master degree in psycohology and neuropsychology from Chambery University. Her previous research projects focused on autoefficacy and cognitive decline in older adults, as well as emotional regulation in adults with ADHD. She is now a Master student in neuropsychology and clinical neuroscience (University Grenoble Alpes). Her project in the lab is to investigate the behavioral and neural bases of metacognitive deficits in schizophrenia.

Martin obtained his MS.c. degree in cognitive science at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, under the supervision of Jerôme Sackur. He is now completing his Ph.D. within the metaction project. His work consists in developping new tasks to better characterize metacognition deficits in schizophrenia, using psychophysics and EEG.
