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.

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.

Ignacio POLTI, M.Sc.   After a master at NeuroSpin (Cogmaster), Ignacio went on to pursue his PhD studying timing & uncertainty at the Kavli Institute for System Neurosciences (NTNU) with Christian Doeller.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Diane Lamarle is a research engineer in the team and works with Sophie Herbst on the WHEN project and Valentine Mandin on the implicit induction of rhythmic temporal predictability. She has a master’s degree in cognitive neurosciences and data analysis. Her interest lies in collecting and analyzing data from different brain imaging modalities, with a particular focus on magnetoencephalography.

Manon Beurtey is a Master’s student (M1) at the Cogmaster (master’s degree in cognitive science at Paris ENS-UPC-EHESS). Initially a psychomotrician, she has devoted ten years to the clinical field before going back to the cognitive sciences. She is also teaching piano, and has a great passion for music in general. She is currently doing an internship with the Cognition & Brain Dynamics team under the supervision of Sophie Herbst, where she is looking forward to further exploring the fields of cognitive science and their applications in the auditory field.
