My research
My main interest in cognitive neuroscience is to go further on the understanding of memory processes in humans. My research focuses on the retrieval of complex events triggered by odors using in-house behavioral paradimgs, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and multi-site intracerebral EEG (iEEG) recordings.
Episodic memory, our ability to encode and retrieve past events, is a reconstructive process prone to errors and distortions. Compared to other sensory modalities, odor-evoked memories are more detailed and more emotional.
My work demonstrated the distinct involvement and interactions of distributed brain regions during accurate and inaccurate retrieval of complex olfactory episodes in fMRI. In iEEG, my research provided the first evidence for the role of odor-evoked band-specific power modulations during encoding and retrieval tasks in perceptual and memory brain regions. Further analyses are currently in progress to compare oscillatory patterns and examine the long-range interactions between these regions.
