Présentation
I am a CNRS researcher working in the Laboratoire Parole et Langage in Aix-Marseille University and the Institute of Language, Communication and the Brain. At the LPL, I am co-head of the "Language and Speech Dynamics" team which focuses on the dynamics of speech and language processing, with a strong interest in the spatiotemporal dimension of language processes taking place at different temporal scales, both intra- and inter-individually. I completed my Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille University from 2007 to 2011 under the supervision of Dr. Schön. My Ph.D. research focused on implicit statistical learning of musical and linguistic structures in both musicians and non-musicians. I studied adults and children using behavioral and electrophysiological measures in both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. The results of this work gave rise to several publications in world-leading journals that became reference work in the music and neuroscience community. Importantly, my Ph.D. was part of a large research project supported by the French National Research Agency, led by Dr. Besson, which explored music-induced brain plasticity and transfer of training from music to language. From 2013 to 2018, I did a post-doc at the University of Barcelona with Dr. Rodriguez-Fornells (Cognition and Brain plasticity group, Bellvitge Hospital) and Dr. Bosch (Attention, Perception and Acquisition of Language Lab, Sant Joan de Déu Hospital). I am currently studying the early development of language learning abilities, from phonological processing to word learning in newborns, infants and toddlers with typical and atypical neurodevelopment. Originally trained in human electrophysiology, my goal is to better understand the early developmental trajectories of language functions using longitudinal studies with multimodal neural and behavioral measures combined with daylong audio recordings.
