I am working on the embodied and reciprocal nature of human cognition that encompasses biological, behavioral and social levels of organizations. I seek new conceptual and methodological approaches towards a better understanding of coordination dynamics across those scales. Methodologically, my work is at the cross-road of social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and system biology. It uses new neuroimaging techniques such as hyperscanning (recording of multiple people’s brain activity while they are interacting) and human dynamic clamp (interaction between a human and a computational model in real-time). This allows to investigate relationships between coordination at both neural, behavioral and social levels. My main project at Human Genetics and Cognitive Function unit concerns the neurogenetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders. It aims at disentangling the strong heterogeneity at both phenotype and subphenotype levels by combining neuroimaging, system biology, and big data approaches.
