In this review, we present the voltage-sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) method. The possibility
offered for in vivo (and in vitro) brain imaging is unprecedented in terms of spatial and …

The visual system is able to process complex movements quickly and efficiently in rich visual
scenes thanks to a processing taking place in the retina, the LGN, and the visual cortex …

This thesis deals with mesoscopic models of cortex called neural fields. The neural field
equations describe the activity of neuronal populations, with common anatomical/functional …

Considering the experimental study of systemic models of the brain as a whole (in contrast
to models of one brain area or aspect), there is a real need for tools designed to realistically …

We study motion anticipation in a mean field model of the primary visual cortex (V1) with a
realistic retinal input. We assess the ability of this integrated retino-cortical model to …

Studying and modeling the brain as a whole is a real challenge. For such systemic models
(in contrast to models of one brain area or aspect), there is a real need for new tools …

Résumé La thématique principale de nos travaux est l'étude de l'intégration du mouvement
au niveau de la population du cortex visuel primaire du singe éveillé: de l'identification des …

The problem of adjusting the parameters of an event-based network model is addressed
here at the programmatic level. Considering temporal processing, the goal is to adjust the …

The hallmark of most artificial neural networks is their supposed intrinsic parallelism where
each unit is evaluated concurrently to other units in a distributed way. However, if one gives …
