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. He will also use intracranial EEG to characterize confidence in epilepsy in collaboration with the University hostpital in Grenoble.
