C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous avons appris la disparition de Séverine Erhel, professeure à l'université de Rennes 2 et membre du CSEN.
Elle avait notamment coordonné notre conférence internationale Quels usages de l'IA en éducation ?

A new paper from the lab!
We use MEG and a "local/global" design in the language domain to ask whether the transitions between words in a sentence are encoded by a shallow transition-probability mechanism, in parallel to a tree-based syntactic mechanism.

New preprint "A cortical semantic space integrating fractions and integers"
We used 7T fMRI during number comparison to map the adult cortical representation of small integers 0-5 and basic fractions. Those abstract symbolic concepts are mapped in parietal cortex.

SfN Neuronline logo. Webinar series: Meet-the-Expert. Conscious Vision and its Restoration in Blindness. Wednesday, March 25, 1–2 p.m. EDT. Pieter R. Roelfsema, MD, PhD.
Tomorrow is the day!
Register now for this Meet-the-Expert webinar that will explore what a sensory stimulus has to achieve in the brain to enter into conscious awareness and possible translations for the blind.

My course on consciousness is now online: six 90´ lectures featuring both history and recent experimental results on ignition, P3b, working memory, neural manifolds… unpublished results too.
I speak in French (College de France oblige) but slides and subtitles are in English

30 ans après "La Bosse des maths", @standehaene.bsky.social replonge aux sources de ce qui fait de nous des êtres mathématiques. Dans dernier son livre "Le rectangle de Lascaux", il remonte aux sources de la #géométrie, née avant l'art figuratif.

We investigate the mental representation of geometric shapes in adults and children using fMRI and MEG. Each figure has a video of me explaining the figure: go and read it, or read below.
Excited to share our new paper in @pnas.org with @bnmorillon.bsky.social &
@valentinwyart.bsky.social www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
We study three core inference systems, and how their interaction shapes human learning and decision-making.
The strongest version of this illusion I’ve seen! Absolute head-wrecker!
Lovely! But it’s missing the left hemisphere… and the visual word form area :-)

Very interesting preprint by @athenaakrami.bsky.social on the critical role of the hippocampus in statistical learning
