Next week, I will be presenting my poster at SOBP 2026 in NYC. So exciting! This is part of my PhD manuscript, soon to be submitted. Dissociable effects of subthalamic stimulation on prospective confidence, mood and economic choices Kist A, Cecchi R, Blouzard E, Pouchon A, Chabardès C, Faivre N, Pereira M, Polosan M*, Bastin J* (* equal contributions as last authors) Background: Growing evidence implicates the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in value-based decisions. In this study,

A l'automne dernier (2025 donc), j'ai eu l'opportunité de présenter ma recherche dans un épisode du podcast BrainCast, organisé par le labex Cerveau-Cognition de Grenoble . BrainCast est un nouveau format proposé par le CerCoG : 1 chercheur⸱se qui pose les questions - 1 chercheur⸱se qui présente - 1 article récent. Dans cet épisode, je reviens sur les travaux que j’ai menés lors de mon postdoc à University of California, San Francisco . J'explique comment nous avons utilisé

À l’occasion de la Semaine du Cerveau 2026 , j’ai eu le plaisir de présenter au GIN une introduction à la stimulation cérébrale profonde : une technologie fascinante qui consiste à moduler l’activité de certains circuits cérébraux pour traiter des troubles neurologiques et psychiatriques. Derrière cette idée simple — utiliser l’électricité pour “réaccorder” le cerveau — se cachent de nombreux défis scientifiques, médicaux et éthiques : comprendre les circuits, choisir la bonn

Today’s post shares a few recap slides from our Cognitive Science Perspectives presentations. They summarize key topics and provide guidelines for analyzing either a Work of Fiction or a Hot Topic . A handy overview for anyone wanting a quick refresher or inspiration for their own analysis. THIS IS FOR THE L1 STUDENTS. A PESTEL analysis is a framework used to examine the external factors that can influence an organization or situation. It looks at six categories: Political

This document explains the instructions for the reflexive writing assignment (MIASHS L2) , which is part of the course evaluation. THIS IS FOR THE L2 STUDENTS. In this short essay, you will reflect on your experience in the course: what you remember from the sessions, what you learned, and what aspects you found the most interesting or useful. The goal is not only to practice your written English, but also to reflect on how the topics explored during the course relate to you

This assessment grid outlines the criteria used to evaluate the Cognitive Science in Sci-Fi Films presentations. The goal is to value both scientific curiosity and communication efforts. THIS IS FOR THE L2 STUDENTS. Her is a 2013 American science fiction romantic drama film written, co-produced, and directed by Spike Jonze. It follows Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix), a man who develops a relationship with Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), an artificially intelligent operat

This is the vocabulary cheat sheet for our debate: “Biological computers are more ethically problematic than AI.” It is designed to help you prepare your arguments and participate actively in the discussion. The document includes useful expressions for structuring arguments, agreeing or disagreeing, and responding to counter-arguments- as well as common rhetorical traps! As advances in both AI and synthetic biology are raising new questions about the nature of intelligence,

This is the vocabulary cheat sheet you will use for the session on Cognitive Science in Science-Fiction Films . It is designed to help you prepare your presentations by providing key terms related to cognition, artificial intelligence, memory, perception, consciousness, and other topics often explored in sci-fi stories. As cognitive science brings together fields such as psychology, neuroscience, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy, the films you have chosen may ill

Ce qui se joue aux États-Unis dépasse largement leurs frontières. Le démantèlement progressif de la recherche publique, notamment via les blocages de financements des NIH, menace non seulement les avancées médicales américaines, mais aussi la science mondiale.
