Neuroscientist and professor at the University of Rennes, France, affiliated with the INSERM Laboratory of Signal and Image Processing (LTSI). My research combines intracranial electrophysiology, EEG, neurophysiology, and computational modeling to explore the dynamics of brain networks in health and disease.
My main research focuses on the mechanisms of epilepsy, while my broader interests extend to emotions, cognition, learning, brain plasticity, and consciousness.
