About Me

Hi, my name is Pierre Guilleminot, I am currently a postdoc researcher at the Institute of System Neuroscience in Marseille and the INSERM. I am a member of the DCAP Team (Dynamics of Cognitive and Auditory Processes) led by Benjamin Morillon. My current research focuses on the neural basis of information processing during natural speech listening, I am especially interested in the neural representation of the interplay between temporal and semantic predictions. In my daily life, this translates into using information theory, (biologically somewhat sometimes plausible) neural network and an unhealthy amount of caffeine to analyze, model and (bravely/humbly attempt to) understand brain responses to speech. I am also exploiting PhDs students to do my evil biddings, as they’ve sold their souls in exchange for a modest stipend and earnest supervision.

I was previously doing my PhD at the Department of Bioengineering and the Centre of Neurotechnology of Imperial College London as a member of the Sensory Neuroengineering Group led by Pr.Tobias Reichenbach, now based in the Department for Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering (AIBE) of Friedrich-Alexander-University(FAU) Erlangen-Nuremberg.
