Maëlys Aigouy obtained a master’s degree in Neurosciences in 2022. As part of her master’s degree, she completed an internship at the national health security agency. During this internship, she worked on various molecular biology techniques in order to study the impact of a pesticide on the development of Parkinson’s disease. She is currently an intern at the Decision, Action, and Neural Computation (DANC) laboratory since January 2023, under the supervision of Dr. James Bonaiuto, at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences (ISC) Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. She is working on a project concerning the effects of early social experience on the development of affect-biased attention.

Sanaz Alavizadeh has been working as a project manager since July 2020 at the Institut des Sciences Cognitives (ISC) Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. She graduated with a Master’s degree in Biology (Grenoble Alpes- France) in 2017 and an inter-university degree in clinical research associate (Claude Bernard, France) in 2019, and has since been involved with in different clinical neuroscience projects. Her first project was assuring the protection of rights, safety and welfare of human subjects in a study of the efficacy and safety of bumetanide in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She then took part in two projects on children with craniosynostosis for evaluating attentional functions in children with this pathology under direction of Professor Federico Di Rocco. She is now involved in a new project aimed at better mechanistic understanding of motor-related beta activity in children and infants.

Marine Gautier—Martins has been working as an assistant engineer since September 2021, under the supervision of Dr. James Bonaiuto at the Decision, Action, and Neural Computation (DANC) lab, at the Institut des Sciences Cognitives (ISC) Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. She graduated with a master’s degree in Basic and Clinical Neurosciences in 2021. As part of her master’s degree, she was involved in a project focusing on non-human primates’ socio-cognitive and emotional development in the Social Neuroscience and comparative Development Laboratory under the direction of Dr. Pier Francesco Ferrari. She is now involved in a new project aimed at a better mechanistic understanding of motor-related beta activity in children and infants.

Sotirios Papadopoulos is a doctoral student at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 since October 2021, working under the co-supervision of Dr. Jérémie Mattout, head of the Computation, Cogntion and Neurophysiology (COPHY) team at Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (CRNL), and Dr. James Bonaiuto, head of the Decision, Action and Neural Computation (DANC) lab, at the Institut des Sciences Cognitives (ISC) Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. He obtained his M.D. from the University  of Thessaly in 2016. Next, he fullfiled part of his residency training in Neurology at “Tzaneio”  General Hospital of Piraeus (2017-2018). He obtained his M.Sc. from the University of Crete in 2020, focusing mainly on computational neuroscience, and pursuing a thesis pertaining to novel non-linear dendritic integration properties and their implications for logical operations  implementation under the supervision of Dr. Panayiota Poirazi at Poirazi Lab. His ongoing project  involves real-time analysis of motor-related burst activity at a single trial level using MEG and  EEG, aimed at providing robust features for brain-controlled assistive devices for neurologic rehabilitation.

Maciej Szul has been a postdoc since January 2021, working under the supervision of Dr James Bonaiuto at the Decision, Action, and Neural Computation (DANC) lab, part of Institut des Sciences Cognitives Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. He obtained PsyM from the Jagiellonian University, specializing in neuroscience and sport science. The subject of his thesis covered fMRI resting state connectivity differences caused by the congenital deafness. He obtained his PhD from Cardiff University, working at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) under the supervision of Dr Jiaxiang Zhang. His thesis was focused on exploring decision-making/action selection processes, combining continuous response measures, cognitive models, non-stationary perceptual evidence, and multivariate pattern analysis of magnetoencephalographic (MEG) signals. Currently, he is involved in projects exploring oscillatory mechanisms of visual and sensorimotor processes using laminar MEG.

Maddalena Tamellini is a M1 intern at the Decision, Action, and Neural Computation (DANC) lab, at the Institut des Sciences Cognitives (ISC) Marc Jeannerod in Lyon, under the supervision of Dr. James Bonaiuto. As a part of her master’s degree, she is currently taking part in a longitudinal study focusing on how early mother-infant interactions are linked to development of infant emotion-related brain networks, and how they correlate to infant attention biases to facial expressions.

Siqi Zhang has been a postdoc since June 2022, working under the supervision of Dr James Bonaiuto at the Decision, Action, and Neural Computation (DANC) lab, part of Institut des Sciences Cognitives Marc Jeannerod in Lyon. She obtained her PhD from Southeast University, specializing in biological engineering under the supervision of Dr. Qing Lu. Her thesis was ‘Temporal and spectral patterns of resting state brain networks in magnetoencephalography for depression and related clinical evaluations’. She also studied in Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, UCL for one year, under the supervision of Dr. Vladimir Litvak. Her work was about the hidden Markov model on the simultaneous iEEG-MEG dataset and the correspondence from superficial to deeper cortical layers.
