🎉NEW preprint with @stephen-ramanoel.bsky.social 🎉 Using mobile EEG and immersive VR we found that theta bursts in the retrosplenial complex encode both acceleration and alignment with the body principal axes, providing a stable egocentric scaffold for orientation : www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Theta activity in the RSC anchors space to the body cardinal axes
Understanding human navigation in ecological, freely moving conditions requires uncovering how the brain anchors directional representations to the ′s orientation. Using high-density mobile electroenc...

🚀 New paper! We just took a major step in understanding how architecture shapes cognition. Our paper shows that something as simple as corners in rooms or corridors can shift canonical spatial attention cueing costs. Key method? Mobile Brain/Body Imaging combined with VR! bit.ly/47m6ssV
Turning corners in built environments shifts spatial attention costs
Human attention is typically studied under static laboratory conditions, yet everyday cognition unfolds during active interactions with the built envi…

New preprint with @stephen-ramanoel.bsky.social !! 🥳 Mobile EEG with a spatial perspective taking task in VR ! We found alpha activity in Retrosplenial Complex dipoles influenced by the angle of perspective taking and beta for the magnitude of angle to compute !
Neurocognitive dynamics of translating information from a spatial map into action https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.17.683083v1
Have you ever walked out of a tram station, started walking, and upon seeing your favorite French bakery suddenly realized you were going the wrong way, as if your entire spatial representation abruptly reoriented itself in the opposite direction? We tested this ! (just had to replace the bakery...)
These findings demonstrate a dual role of theta oscillations in the RSC, flexibly integrating multimodal signals, 1) supporting both the recalibration of spatial representations to external cues and 2) the encoding of self-motion information during naturalistic human navigation.

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/
After a long journey, we are delighted to share our publication in @qjep.bsky.social on Age-related Differences in Electrophysiological Correlates of Visuospatial Reorientation. 🧠 🧭 With @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social et al. doi.org/10.1177/1747...
Knowing where to go may shape what you see 👀. Analysing EEG data with CNN coupled with GradCAM we investigated the temporal dynamic of navigational affordances extraction, and how knowing where to go interfere with this process.
Thrilled to share our recent publication in @journalofvision.bsky.social investigating the temporal neural dynamics underlying the integration of bottom-up and top-down information during visual scene processing. With @clementnaveilhan.bsky.social and R. Zory. jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx...
