Short Bio
I combine several scales and approaches in order to understand how those three processes operate in the brain: 1) Computational level: the goal is to provide abstract, formal accounts of brain computations. I rely on Bayesian (and more generally probabilistic) inference to this end. 2) Macro- and meso- scales: the goal is to understand the coordination of brain-scale networks that supporting those computations (macro-level), and how the inferred variables and their uncertainty are encoded by large populations of neurons (meso-scale). I currently use fMRI and MEG to this end. 3) Molecules: I am interested in the role of neuromodulators in those computations, which actually bridge gaps between single neurons (of which they modulate the activity and plasticity) and large-scale networks (in which they are released simultaneously). I use fMRI, physiological measures (e.g. pupil size) and pharmacological interventions to address those questions
