Alexandra SEVERAC CAUQUIL
Project coordinator
Alexandra Séverac Cauquil, CerCo/UT senior lecturer 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.
Jean-Baptiste DURAND
Research fellow
Jean-Baptiste Durand is a CNRS researcher at CerCo since October 2010. 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.
Benoît COTTEREAU
Research fellow
Benoît is a CNRS research director 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.
Franck-Emmenuel ROUX
Neurosurgeon
Professor 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.
Florence REMY EL BOUSTANI
Lecturer
Florence Remy El Boustani is a lecturer and researcher at CerCo 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.
Nathalie VAYSSIERE
Research engineer
Nathalie Vayssière is a research engineer (CerCo, CNRS – Université de Toulouse). 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.
Maxime ROSITO
Research assistant
Maxime Rosito is a research assistant at the Brain and Cognition Research Center (CerCo, CNRS – Université Toulouse III – Paul Sabatier) in Toulouse. He specializes in software development for neuroscience experiments, particularly those involving spatial vision and visuo-vestibular integration. He contributes to designing and programming experimental paradigms.
Sarah MARCHAND
PhD student
Sarah Marchand is a PhD student at CerCo. She joined the SV3M team to carry out her thesis under the co-direction of Alexandra Séverac Cauquil and Jean-Baptise Durand. She has a strong interest in comparative cognition and her current project focuses on the integration of visual and vestibular information in a comparative human and non-human primate study using fMRI.
Alba LANGLADE
PhD student
Alba Langlade is a PhD candidate 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.
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.
Stéphane BESNARD
Lecturer/hospital practitioner
Stéphane Besnard is MCU/PH of physiology at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Caen-Normandy and neurophysiologist at the University Hospital of Caen. He is the director of the newly created URU VertEx (Vertige Extreme). His research interests include the vestibular system, multisensory integration and motion sickness, as well as related biotechnology development.
