My research projects aim at defining the functional components of calculation and number processing and at finding their neuroanatomical correlates. Work is carried out in three directions using different but complementary methodologies: the study of cerebral activations with functional imaging techniques, the study of brain-damaged patients performance, and mental chronometric studies in healthy adults. Integrating the functional and neuroanatomical levels of analysis in the same theoretical questioning seems to me essential to further our understanding of cognitive processes and to improve the validity of current models of numerical cognition.
In the last years, I have been funded by grants from the National Fund for Scientific Research (Belgium), the Fonds de Developpement Scientifique (UCL), and the PAI/IUAP Program from the Belgian Government.
