Laurie-Anne Sapey-Triomphe

INSERM researcher, PhD in Neurosciences

My main research interest lies in perception and learning in autism, which I primarily investigate using behavioral tasks and neuroimaging methods (fMRI, EEG, MRS). I am a permanent researcher in neuroscience in the CAP team at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL), France.

I completed my PhD in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Lyon, France, under the supervision of Dr. Christina Schmitz and Dr. Jérémie Mattout.

Following my PhD, I moved to Belgium to join Prof. Johan Wagemans' research group at KU Leuven as a postdoctoral fellow.

I then completed a short postdoctoral fellowship at the CRNL, working with Prof. Barbara Tillmann and Prof. Dezso Nemeth.

In 2024, I was recruited as a permanent researcher at INSERM (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research).
