Camille GRASSO, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher involved in the EXPERIENCE Project. She is a qualified neuropsychologist and a cognitive scientist trying to understand how humans make sense of time. During her PhD, she worked on the representation and processing of abstract temporal concepts such as past and future. Currently, she is heading towards using a combination of behavioural, neurophysiological, and computational methods to examine how humans understand, feel, and estimate time. She is a passionate researcher, who loves talking about science and who is always in quest of learning and understanding new things!

Matthew LOGIE, Ph.D. is a postdoctoral fellow in the EXPERIENCE Project. Having previously studied physics and audio engineering, he now creates virtual environments to study human cognition. His PhD work focused on the segmentation of events within virtual environments as a means of improving learning. He is currently investigating the influence of salient and unpredictable moments of change on temporal experience and the what, where, when of episodic memory.

Raphaël BORDAS is a research assistant in the team as part of the WildTimes project. He joined the team during his Bachelor’s in Mathematics and Biology at Paris-Saclay University, studying neural oscillations during high-speed displacements in trains. He is currently interested in exploring the neural implementation of time perception using behavioral and neurophysiology methods both in the lab and in the wild.

Clara DRIAÏ-ALLÈGRE, M.Sc., is a PhD student at Université Paris-Saclay Biosigne, under the supervision of Dr. Sophie K. Herbst. Before beginning her PhD, she completed two master’s internships focusing on Bayesian modelling of temporal prediction using EEG to identify the neural markers underlying this process. Her PhD continues and expands upon this work, exploring the functional routes of temporal prediction in audition and focusing on the role of subcortical structures such as the cerebellum. She plans to employ a combination of fMRI and MEG studies to investigate these mechanisms.

Marianna LAMPROU KOKOLAKI, M.Sc., is a PhD student at the Université Paris Saclay Biosigne under the supervision of Virginie van Wassenhove. She is interested in how the brain encodes temporal information (specifically the duration of an event) that are stored and can later be recalled from memory. She first joined the team as a master student investigating the link between time (duration and the experience of the flow of time) and the segmentation of everyday experience.

Valentine MANDIN, M.Sc. is a PhD student at the Université Paris Saclay Biosigne under the supervision of Sophie Herbst. She has been investigating for 2 years the implication of temporal predictions on temporal resolution by multiple paradigms, focusing on the auditory modality. Her work targets the implicit induction of temporal predictability. She is interested in the neural basis of temporal prediction and aimed at using MEG to fully explore the role of neural oscillations on these mechanisms.

Yunyun SHEN, M.Sc. is a PhD student at Université Paris Saclay under the supervision of Virginie van Wassenhove and Sophie Herbst. She is interested in the representations of temporal information (eg. durations and order information) in working memory. Her work aims to integrate psychophysics and computational neuroscience to investigate the neural basis of these timing properties. Specifically, she focuses on examining the neural oscillations of these mechanisms.

Anna WAGELMANS, M.Sc., is a PhD student currently doing her thesis – Exploring temporal orientation in the human brain – at Neurospin under the supervision of Virginie van Wassenhove. There, she studies the ability to mental time travel – that is to say, to mentally project oneself in time. Anna works at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, psychology and philosophy of mind to investigate the structure of human experience and the constrution of the self. A problem that particularly occupies her mind is the continuity of the self in time. Her interest in problems of time branches out to phenomenological psychopathology, education and learning, and how narrative structures from all kinds of media interact with experience.

Antonia STUKENBROCK is a second-year master student in Neurosciences at LMU and the Université Paris-Saclay. In her internship/thesis, supervised by Virginie van Wassenhove and Antoni Valero-Cabre at the Institut du Cerveau (ICM), she will use EEG recordings to explore the relationship between neural oscillations and time perception. Her time will be split between the ICM, acquiring data from human participants, and developing her skills in the EEG time series analysis at NeuroSpin.

Monique ANDRES is an M2 student in Computational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering at Université Paris-Saclay. Her previous Bachelor’s studies in Bioscience – Applied Biology in Medicine and Pharmacy in Germany provide a strong biological foundation for her current work in computational and neuroscientific research. She is joining a project led by Sophie Herbst and Clara Driaï-Allègre, which aims to decode the neural dynamics of temporal predictions using machine learning analysis of EEG data.

Anandapadmanabhan UNNIKRISHNAN is a Master’s (M2) student in Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Cologne, Germany. With a broad interest in various aspects of neuroimaging, he is currently undertaking an internship with the Cognition & Brain Dynamics team under the supervision of Sophie Herbst. Here, he aims to gain a better understanding of magnetoencephalography and the associated data analysis.
