Team research topics:

The team of Luc Arnal and Diane Lazard aims to understand the cerebral operations underlying the perception of communication signals — verbal, non-verbal or musical — in humans. By combining psychoacoustic methods, neuroimaging (fMRI, I/M-EEG) and neurocomputational modeling, the work of this group is revealing how the auditory system integrates auditory, visual and emotional information to develop appropriate reactions. These studies are paving the way for new translational perspectives in the context of sensory deficiencies (poor hearing) and their involvement in certain neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s disease).
