My research activities focus on the cognitive aspects of visual processing, in both normal individuals and those who have suffered brain injuries. My main objectives are to identify the normal mechanisms involved in visual processing and to characterize the functional deficits resulting from brain damage. I use behavioural and electrophysiological methods. My current projects concern a number of themes:
- Reading: visual mechanisms (i.e. shape perception and visuospatial attention) involved in accessing orthographic-lexical knowledge when recognizing written words, and organization of the lexical representation system
- Visual recognition of objects: properties of the system for encoding visual shapes and representation of structural knowledge

My research program is aimed at achieving a better understanding of the cognitive and psychological consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in adults, using a number of methodological approaches. More specifically, my work concerns:
- the development of models for predicting future developments in TBI patients
- the development of neuropsychological tools for TBI clients
- the evaluation of early intervention and rehabilitation programs for TBI patients

My research program is aimed at achieving a better understanding of normal and atypical neuropsychological development among children and teenagers. More specifically, it aims to:
- Develop and validate assessment and intervention methods for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, in particular attention deficit and learning disorders (dyslexia, dyscalculia)
- Develop and validate analytical and interpretation methods for neuropsychological data
- Model cognitive processes by means of artificial neuronal networks.
