Neurofunctional imaging group

We are a multidisciplinary research team gathering scientists from various domains: mathematics medical imaging, nuclear medicine, signal processing, psychiatry and cognitive neurosciences. Our scientific project ambitions at understanding the determinants of the development of brain networks underlying cognitive functions. In particular, we investigate the anatomo-functional, genetic and cognitive underpinnings of the human brain hemispheric specialization (HS). We recently designed and acquired the Brain Imaging Lateralization & GIN, a unique multimodal database in the world dedicated to the fundamental question of brain connectivity, in particular the roles of intra- and inter-hemispheric connectivity that underlie HS.
