Current team
Nina Kazanina is our PI whose expertise is in psychology and cognitive neuroscience of language including speech processing, sentence comprehension and language development.
Fengyun Hou, Ph.D
Fengyun is interested in language, learning and memory. Fengyun received her PhD from the university of bristol where she studied
Théo Desbordes, Ph.D Google Scholar
Théo is interested on neural replay, compression mechanisms, and applying AI in Neuroscience. His current research investigates how linguistic constructions are stored in memory over time.
He earned his PhD from Sorbonne University, studying compositionality in language processing through human neuroimaging and neural language models using advanced techniques like magnetoencephalography ,intracranial electroencephalography and computational methods
Itsaso Olasagasti Rodríguez, Ph.D. Google Scholar
Itsaso is interested in exploring how the brain represents and processes syntactic structures in human language. Her current research investigates the extent to which the computations involved in human language might share mechanisms with the brain’s general strategies for representing structured knowledge.
Itsaso received her PhD from Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (Physics) where she was studying cosmological models within General Relativity.

Nicolas Piron: Website Google Scholar
Nicolas is a PhD student interested on how the brain processes and remembers sequential information, with a particular interest in the hippocampus and its interactions with prefrontal and sensory cortices. Concretely, He is using MEG and intracranial sEEG recordings, to investigate the oscillatory and replay mechanisms underlying sequence encoding and memory consolidation, and asks whether these mechanisms generalize to language comprehension.
Nicola received his Master degree in neuroscience from the University of Geneva completed his master's, where he used surface EEG to study visual attention in patients with thalamic damage.
Manon Briet
Manon is Master's student of Neuroscience at the university of Geneva. Her thesis is part on Nicolas's Piron project, about establishing the underlying processes behind episodic memory temporal encoding.
Manon received her Bachelor degree in Biology from the University of Geneva.
Alumni
Priyanka Sukumaran is a 3rd year PhD student interested in natural language processing, episodic memory and reward learning. She uses methods ranging from cognitive tasks, computational modelling, deep learning and EEG.
Dario Fuentes Grandon is a 3rd year PhD student whose research is at the intersection of speech perception, cognitive sciences and neuroscience. More specifically, he is interested in how people learn and adapt to non-native accents.
