About

Stanislas Dehaene’s research is focused on clarifying the brain mechanisms of cognitive functions specifically developed in the human species, such as reading, calculation, syntax and conscious reasoning.

His approach combines sophisticated behavioural paradigms with a variety of other experimental methods, including neuropsychological studies of brain-lesioned patients and brain-imaging studies with positron emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), high- density recordings of event-related potentials and intracranial recordings in epilepsy patients.
