Biography

He is a neurologist and presently working on using the barrel cortex of rodents as a system model; our research is centered on the study of neuronal processes responsible for the coding. Proposed title of his thesis is 1/ Cholinergic modulation of tactile sensory cortical processing: combining functional cortical imaging and optogenetic approaches. 2/ Integration of a sensory feedback in a Brain-Machine Interface by optogenetic stimulation of neuronal assemblies.   EDUCATION • 1980 B.Sc. in Biology.
