Development of conflict detection during thinking – DEVCON
Decades of reasoning and decision-making research have shown that human judgment is often biased by intuitive heuristics. Recent studies on conflict detection during thinking nevertheless indicate that despite their biased response, adults typically do detect that their answer is not fully warranted
Conversational Feedback: Multidimensional analysis and modelling – CoFee
The general objective of this project is to propose a fine grained model of the form/function relationship concerning feedback phenomena in conversation. To succeed in this general objective, we need to achieve: (i) a fine-grained analysis of the different dimensions involved, prosody, lexical marke
Multisensory integration for self-body motion perception: human brain mechanisms, bayesian modeling approach and adaptive plasticity with aging – Multisense
Perception is multimodal by nature. To perceive one’s own body movements, the central nervous system (CNS) uses multiple sources of sensory information derived from several modalities including vision, touch and muscle proprioception. All these different sources of information have to be efficiently
The Effect of Visual Experience on Attentional Requirements, Processing Speed and Neural Representations. – Vis-Ex
Natural scene processing lies at the very core of everyday vision. The visual system is constantly engaged in the processing of natural objects and scenes, yet much of vision science is conducted with artificial, simple stimuli such as oriented bars and gratings. However, the mechanisms underlying t
Extraretinal signals in perception and action – EPA
Vision is more than the processing of retinal information. Moving our eyes to different parts of the scene is crucial to the collection of the high-acuity visual information that is the basis of vision. However, eye movements also pose some interesting challenges to vision, because each movement cha
Emotional and Change-related Automatic Attention in Autism – AUTATTEN
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are characterized by major handicap in social interaction and in daily life adaptation. Physical and social adaptation typically challenges the impaired skills of these individuals with ASD, as it requires efficiently detecting and reacting to biologically important e
Dynamical analysis of context and brain activity during spontaneous thought formation and methods to control them – COGIT
While reading books and performing other tasks requiring concentration, most people have had the experience of finding their attention drifting towards self-centered matters. After some time (seconds to minutes), the reader realizes he/she is mind wandering, and returns his/her attention to the read
Integration of physical and social constraints in visual perception of space – CONSTRAINTPERCEPT
One important challenge in psychology is to understand to what extent our visual perception of space relies on our body. Although this question is interesting in theoretical and applied respects, this project will focus on theoretical considerations. This question is controversial in psychology of p
Hemispheric specialization, retinotopic mapping and retino-cortical interaction during scene perception – RECOR
The RECOR program aims to investigate the visual and neural mechanisms involved in the processing of natural scenes, through behavioural and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) investigations on healthy participants and patients with retinal diseases. Therefore, we aim to develop visual tes
