Laurie-Anne Sapey-Triomphe
Postdoctoral researcher, PhD in Neurosciences
My main interest is about perception and learning in autism, which I mostly investigate using behavioral tasks and neuroimaging methods (fMRI, EEG, MRS).
I currently work in the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in France, as a postdoctoral researcher, to conduct a project on statistical learning in autism with Prof. Dezső Németh and Prof. Barbara Tillmann.
I completed my PhD in cognitive neurosciences at the University of Lyon in France, under the supervision of Dr. Christina Schmitz and Dr. Jérémie Mattout.
After my PhD, I moved to Belgium as a postdoctoral fellow to work in the research group of Prof. Johan Wagemans, in the Department of Brain and cognition at KU Leuven.
