Post-doctorant FNS
Education
I obtained my Ph.D degree in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Lyon (France) with a thesis on the emergence and flexibility of semantic representations of words in the brain. I was particularly interested in action word representations and the motor system. I used EEG (ERP and time-frequency analyses), fMRI as well as kinematics measures to explore these processes.
Research interests
My post-doctoral research focuses on the processes underlying word production and semantic processing using behavioral and neurophysiological measures such as ERPs topographic maps.
