Abstract In this talk, I will discuss insights from our recent work probing the neural mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception in humans by leveraging multimodal neuroimaging and computational approaches. I will focus on the roles of slow …

Abstract What does it take to transform consciousness from a philosophical puzzle into a scientific theory? Few frameworks have shaped this quest as deeply as Stanislas Dehaene's Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT). By proposing that conscious access …

Abstract The global neuronal workspace (GNW) theory originates from decades-long productive dialogs between Dehaene & Changeux which aimed, in the late 80's, at the elaboration of formal neuronal networks of cognitive functions. They initially included …

Knowledge of ancient Egyptian essential. Abstract The image of Osiris omnipresent in Egyptian monuments takes on a human appearance. However, there are many exceptions to this Osirian anthropomorphism. On the one hand, cult pillars such as the Abydenian …

Abstract I will revise the state of the art of the current evidence for Language of thought. I will focus on the identification of primitive operation in early infancy, and will speculate on the relation between natural language and logical …

Abstract Learning concepts can be very difficult, especially in science and mathematics. For instance, children continue to struggle with fractions even after several years of formal instruction on the topic; and adults display persistent difficulties …

Abstract Curiosity underpins the greatest of human achievements, from exploring the reaches of our solar system to discovering the structure of our own minds. Where does this drive come from? Here I suggest that far from being reliant on language and …

Abstract Early education is a time of transformation in the way children come to see ideas in the world in the world, partly by a process of learning to combine visual elements to form gestalts. In this talk, I will expand upon these combinatorial …

Abstract Mathematics is among humanity's most remarkable achievements, yet we still lack a comprehensive understanding of how the brain performs even simple arithmetic. In this talk, I will present a series of studies investigating the encoding of …

Abstract During the last two decades, neuroimaging has generated a wealth of knowledge on how number processing inserts itself into the functional neuroanatomy of the human brain. We understand quite well now what are the cortical areas involved, and the …

Abstract What might be the relationship between our fanciest, most-recent cognitive inventions (e.g., Formal Mathematics) and our most evolutionarily ancient abilities to approximate the world (e.g., The Approximate Number System)? I will review the …

Abstract A key notion in linguistics is that of syntactic movement. I will show that this notion and the further theoretical observations and generalizations regarding movement are useful in accounting for language impairments. I will describe syntactic …

Abstract The Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) theory (Baars, 1988; Dehaene et al., 1998) proposes that information must be broadcast across widely distributed networks to enter conscious awareness. But what exactly is the information that is exchanged? I …
