ABOUT ME
I'm a CNRS Director of Research (DR) in Cognitive Sciences in Paris. I conduct my research at the Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR) Sorbonne-University, where I lead the team Perception, Interaction, and Social Robotics (PIRoS).
My research focuses on how our multisensory experiences shape our perception of the world and of the self.
My ongoing research projects aim at understanding:
1) The extent to which perceptual functions in a given sensory modality can be enriched or compensated by information provided via another sensory modality. 2) How technology (such as rehabilitation devices and multisensory interfaces) modifies our perception of the world. 3) The processes underlying spatial cognition, and in particular the links between spatial and social perspective taking.
