I earned my Ph.D. in 2012 in the University of Lille (Supervisor: L. Madelain). Then I worked as a postdoc, first in Giessen with K. Gegenfurtner and then in Paris with P. Cavanagh & T. Collins. I am now an assistant professor in the Institute of Psychology in the University of Paris.
My research focuses on learning in the human visuomotor system. Its originality lies in the link my studies make between the theory of reinforcement learning and vision science.
More precisely, I am investigating how learned associations between ocular saccades and their perceptual consequences can play a crucial role in several aspects of oculomotor behavior:
- The operant control of saccadic properties by their (reinforcing) consequences
- The modification of size and time perception, induced by saccadic adaptation
- The perception of visual targets (trans-saccadic perception).
I am testing these hypotheses at the behavioral level by using gaze-contingent paradigms.
