Contexte de travail

CerCo, https://cerco.cnrs.fr/ Brain and Cognition Research Center is a joint CNRS/UT unit located on the Purpan University Hospital site in Toulouse. The work carried out there focuses on the study of different sensory modalities and their integration, cognitive functions such as memory, object recognition, but also consciousness and mental states. Integrated into the SV3M team, which brings together researchers and clinicians specializing in the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying spatial vision, the In-Vest project https://invest.univ-tlse3.fr/, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR-21-CE37-0023-01), aims to better understand how the brain constructs the perception of our own movement. To do this, our team uses stimulation of the vestibular system, responsible for the perception of movement, coupled with brain imaging techniques, in order to map brain activations linked to the perception of movement and to describe their integration with visual information.mais aussi la conscience et les états mentaux. Intégré dans l'équipe SV3M qui réunit des chercheurs et des cliniciens spécialistes des mécanismes neuronaux et cognitifs qui sous-tendent la vision spatiale, le projet In-Vest https://invest.univ-tlse3.fr/, financé par l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR-21-CE37-0023-01) vise à mieux comprendre la construction par le cerveau de la perception de notre propre mouvement. Pour ce faire, notre équipe utilise la stimulation de l'appareil vestibulaire, responsable de la perception du mouvement, couplée à des techniques d'imagerie cérébrale, afin de cartographier les activations cérébrales liées à la perception du mouvement et de décrire leur intégration aux informations visuelles.
