I am a senior CNRS researcher in cognitive science at the Laboratoire de Psychologie Cognitive, where I investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms that allow speakers to produce language. Issues I am especially interested in include the processes by which speakers select the words needed to express ideas, and the processes by which the form of these words (phonology & orthography) is encoded.

This research is based on experiments conducted with healthy or brain damaged individuals. We use a variety of methods (e.g. analysis of error patterns and response times, electro-encephalography, etc.)

Part of this work is funded by the Europeran Research Council:.
