Gerard Derosiere, PhD

    Since November 2022, I hold a permanent researcher position at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) and work as a Principal Investigator at the Lyon Research Center for Neuroscience (CRNL). My current projects broadly concern the neural basis of motivation, decision-making and effort. Before that, I held a postdoctoral researcher position at the Institute of Neuroscience of UCLouvain (2014-2022; postdoc advisor: Prof. Julie Duque). The main goal of my postdoctoral work was to better understand the role of the motor system in decision-making. I have also been a visiting researcher in Paul Cisek’s lab (Université de Montréal, Oct-Dec 2015) and in Rich Ivry’s lab (University of Berkeley, July-Oct 2019), where I developed projects on decision-making and action planning. The project I have conducted so far involved a combination of approaches including brain stimulation techniques (e.g., spTMS, ppTMS, rTMS, DBS, TIS), EEG, EMG, MRI, computational modelling and psychophysics.
