Links between behavioral neurology, neuropsychiatry and cognitive psychology with special interests in the borderlines between highly adaptive and maladaptive behavior and thought.
Addictions; Language: development and right hemisphere participation; Randomness in behavior and thought; Representation of body and space.
1 professor, 2 senior research fellows, 1 postdoctoral fellow, 4 PhD students, 1 speech pathologist, 1 occupational therapist, 1 technician.
In healthy subjects, we explore the neuropsychological underpinnings of emotion regulation and impulse control, of belief systems and perceptual-cognitive phenomena bordering to hallucinations and delusions.
Clinical research focuses on cortical reorganization processes after peripheral and spinal deefferentation/deafferentation syndromes and in persons born with various limb deficiencies. We are interested in disentangling frames of reference in the representation of space after parietal lobe lesions and in the relationships between the representations of time and space.
Brain plasticity and the neuropsychology of synaesthesia; Prenatal development of speech sound perception; Distortions of numerical space after brain damage; Neuropharmacology of belief formation; Mapping of specific language-associated functions.
Techniques: Mainly sensory stimulation experiments (visual, tactile, auditory modalities).
Equipment: Paper, pencil, tachistoscopes. Access to various neuroimaging techniques via collaborations.
