Alexandra SEVERAC CAUQUIL
Project coordinator
Alexandra Séverac Cauquil, CerCo/UT professor has an international expertise on the vestibular system, visuo-vestibular integration in humans and is a leader in vestibular galvanic stimulation in France. Her current project within the SV3M team at CerCo focuses on galvanic vestibular stimulation and functional MRI identification of cortical visuo-vestibular integration. She coordinates the project “In-Vest” funded by the ANR-21-CE37-0023-01.
Claire POULLIAS
Post-doctoral researcher
Claire Poullias is a post-doctoral researcher, involved in the human neuroimagery part of In-Vest. Her research focuses on the neural integration of visual and vestibular signals involved in self-motion perception, using fMRI and deloping protocols for SEEG and awake surgery.
Sarah MARCHAND
Post-doctoral researcher
Sarah Marchand completed her PhD at CerCo, in the SV3M team under the co-direction of Alexandra Séverac Cauquil and Jean-Baptise Durand. Her thesis dealt with comparative cognition and integration of visual and vestibular information in a comparative human and non-human primate study using fMRI. She’s now post-doc researcher at UC Davis working on interoception in Macaque monkeys.
Alba LANGLADE
PhD student
Alba Langlade is a PhD student at CerCo, working within the SV3M team under the supervision of Alexandra Séverac Cauquil. Her research focuses on the neural integration of visual and vestibular signals involved in self-motion perception, with a particular interest in how gravity and aging shape these processes. She uses methods such as fNIRS and eye-tracking to investigate these questions through complementary experimental approaches.
Benoît COTTEREAU
Research fellow
Benoît is a CNRS research at CerCo where he co-directs the SV3M team. His research aims at understanding spatial vision from a multi-model (human, monkey, machine) and trans-disciplinary (behaviour, neuroimaging, modelling) approach. His work has numerous clinical applications (e.g., for patients suffering from visual pathologies) and technological outputs.
Jean-Baptiste DURAND
Research fellow
Jean-Baptiste Durand is a CNRS researcher at CerCo. He currently co-leads the SV3M team and studies the visual system in both human and non-human primates. His research is based on a comparative approach man/ape and relies on complementary techniques: psychophysics, functional imaging (IRMf) and electrophysiology.
Maxime ROSITO
Engineer
Maxime Rosito is a assistant engineer at CerCo. He develops and codes software for neuroscience experiments, particularly those involving spatial vision and visuo-vestibular integration. He contributes to designing and programming experimental paradigms.
Nathalie VAYSSIERE
Research engineer
Nathalie Vayssière is a research engineer at CerCo. She specializes in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging, with a focus on visual and multisensory integration, motor learning, and brain plasticity. Her work contributes to interdisciplinary studies involving developmental disorders and cortical reorganization.
Florence REMY EL BOUSTANI
Research fellow
Florence Remy El Boustani is a CerCo/UT professor and she is interested in studying changes in visual learning and recognition of natural stimuli during aging. She uses color photographs of objects or scenes as ecological stimuli, and methods such as psychophysics and functional MRI brain imaging, to investigate different research questions. spatial vision from a multi-model (human, monkey, machine) and trans-disciplinary (behaviour, neuroimaging, modelling) approach. His work has numerous clinical applications (e.g., for patients suffering from visual pathologies) and technological outputs.
Franck-Emmanuel ROUX
Neurosurgeon
Franck-Emmanuel Roux is a neurosurgeon specializing in brain surgery, in the field of malignant or benign tumors. He is also involved in the treatment of all neurosurgical emergencies. He works at the Toulouse University Hospital in the neurosurgery department, located in the Pierre-Paul Riquet hospital, on the Purpan hospital site.
Matthieu DENOUAL
Lecturer
Matthieu Denoual received his PhD in signal processing in 2001. Until 2005, his work has focused on the development of microsystems with the University of Tokyo. Since 2005, he is assistant professor at the GREYC laboratory of the ENSICAEN, Caen. His activities are in the field of electronic instrumentation for micro-sensors and the development of sensors with smart functionalities.
