FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • In view of the limited capacity, we require the participants to register in advance. This helps us organize better and provide a smoother experience to the attendees.

  • Registration is completely free. We want to make the conference accessible to everyone interested, and thank our sponsors for their financial support.

  • Yes, meals are available for all participants, but you are required to select these at the time of registration. We provide coffee breaks and lunch on both days of the conference. In addition, there will also be an apero on the first evening .You may indicate any dietary restrictions in the registration form.

  • All participants are welcome to present posters, but are required to indicate this at the time of registration. The poster size should be A0 (841 x 1189 mm) in portrait orientation. On the day of the event, you will be assigned places to install your poster. Please ensure that you are present at your poster during the poster sessions.

  • The talks will not be recorded. We encourage you to attend the conference to benefit from the discussions and interactions with the speakers and other participants.

  • We welcome you to contact us via email at andrea.brovelli[at]univ-amu.fr for any other questions or clarifications. We will be happy to assist you.

Organizers

Team behind INT 2024

Andrea Brovelli

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

My research projects investigates the role of brain interactions in goal-directed learning and adaptive behaviors. The main theoretical approaches and methodology characterizing my projects are: 1) Functional connectivity and information theoretical analysis of brain interactions 2) Multimodal brain imaging and neurophysiology (MEG, intracranial EEG, LFP and fMRI) 3) Neural bases and computational models of human learning

Fanny Cazettes

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

Fanny is a CNRS researcher studying the neural circuit dynamics and computations that underlie diversity in reasoning and adaptive behavior.

Nicolas Wanaverbecq

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

Nicolas Wanaverbecq is Professor in Neuroscience & group leader at the INT. The team SpiCCI combines state-of-the art techniques and analysis from molecular to behavior levels, and aims at characterising the properties and function of neurons contacting the CSF around the medullo-spinal central canal to demonstrate their role as interoceptors.

Anna Montagnini

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

Anna Montagnini is a CNRS Director of Research at the Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone, in Marseille. Her research activity focuses on visual decision making and predictive control of eye movements. She uses a multimodal approach involving psychophysics, eye movements analysis, modeling and more recently non-invasive brain stimulation.

Shailesh Appukuttan

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

I am postdoctoral reseacher working at INT & CRMBM. I am interested in the application of computational techniques to challenges in inter-disciplinary domains. My current research involves leveraging machine learning and AI for diagnosis and predicting disease progression in ALS and MS.

Christelle Baunez

Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS

Christelle Baunez is Director of Research at CNRS. She is the leader of the Cognition and Physiopathology in the Basal Ganglia (CoPhyBaG) team at the INT. Her research uses a translational approach from animal models to human subjects to better understand the role of the subthalamic nucleus in motivated behaviors and their dysfunctions.
