Résumé 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 learning …

Résumé 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 …

Résumé 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 …

Résumé 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 field’s …

Résumé La conférence explorera les débats persistants autour de l'aide étrangère, révélant comment divers outils tels que les programmes d'ajustement structurel, les discussions sur l'efficacité de l'aide, la conditionnalité macroéconomique et les …

Résumé Pendant les années 1950 et 1960, l’impression de vivre une période de transformations profondes est omniprésente au sein des sociétés européennes. L’un des aspects de cette mutation est la place fondamentale que prend la science, à la fois comme …

Résumé 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 …

Résumé Using a multimodal approach, one can leverage the spatial resolution of neuroimaging methods with the high temporal resolution and precise anatomical information of intracranial recordings and the causal evidence from direct intracranial electrical …

Résumé Our understanding of numbers, vital to our scientifically and technically advanced culture, has deep biological roots. Research across developmental psychology, anthropology, and animal cognition suggests that our ability to count symbolically …

Résumé How does the brain transform words into meaning? By aligning insights from linguistics, neuroscience, and Large Language Models (LLMs), we observe that AI models and the human brain surprisingly converge on similar representational principles. …

Résumé After a brief synthetic introduction to the Global Neuronal Workspace (GNW) theoretical framework, I will show how the exploration of conscious state and conscious access in extreme neurological or physiological conditions can be mutually …

Résumé 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 …

Résumé Visual scene understand requires much more than a list of the objects present in the scene and their locations. To understanding a scene, plan action on it, and predict what will happen next we must extract the relationships between objects (e.g., …
