Résumé This lecture will explore the deep history of our bodies, one that extends billions of years. As we uncover new fossils, understand the patterns and mechanisms that form diverse animal bodies, and compare the anatomy of organ systems of creatures …

Conférence destinée au grand public. Résumé In the shadow of the pyramids of the 5 th Dynasty in northwest Abusir lies a Saite-period shaft tomb necropolis whose tombs challenge conventional funerary expectations. The richly decorated tomb of Iufaa, in …

Résumé Depuis le début de l’ère industrielle, les activités humaines ont particulièrement dégradé les écosystèmes : pollution des sols par les métaux lourds et par des plastiques, contamination des eaux par les substances chimiques, destruction des …

Résumé Nous calculons la cinquième valeur d’une fonction… non calculable. Cette fonction, appelée Busy Beaver et proposée par Tibor Radó en 1962, mesure le nombre maximal d’opérations qu’un programme peut effectuer avant de s’arrêter, en fonction de sa …

Résumé La troisième conférence portera sur l'activité physique. Comment et pourquoi les humains sont-ils passés de singes très sédentaires à être si actifs physiquement ? Pourquoi, si nous avons évolué pour être physiquement actifs, tant de personnes …

Résumé The Language of Thought (LoT) hypothesis posits that mental representations are best understood as programme-like objects; indeed, "thoughts" share properties such as productivity and systematicity with programming languages. I tackle questions …

Résumé Quantitative modeling approaches are routinely used in cognitive science to make sense of behavior. Statistical models are designed to test *what* specific patterns are present in behavior, whereas cognitive computational models are developed to …

Résumé The brain is fundamentally a predictive organ that uses internal models to extrapolate future events from current inputs. While this predictive capacity exists across species, what may be uniquely human are the specific internal models we employ. …

Résumé Monkeys are widely used as model organisms for vision and cognition. While their anatomy and physiology have strong correspondences with humans, it is unclear whether they truly see the way we do. In most studies, monkeys are extensively trained on …

Résumé Graphics are a cultural product, meaning that they are a human invention with defined rules and syntax. In this respect, they are very similar to written words and numbers, probably the two most famous cultural inventions. However, unlike them, …

Résumé 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 cortical …

Résumé 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 …

Résumé 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 …
