I am a research associate in the Origami lab at the McGill university (Montreal, Quebec, Canada).
I have a background both in biology and psychology.
I did my PhD studying the role of serotoninergic neurons in the interplay between pain and cardio-vascular regulations in rodents.
I then moved on to the field of cognitive neuroimaging to study multisensory integration in humans.
I am passionate about open science that I see as:
- a way to build a more inclusive research community based on sharing and cooperation rather than hoarding and competition,
- a way to address some of the replicability and reproducibility issues that are affecting many areas of science by making the sharing of code and data more common,
- a set of tools and practices that can reduce inefficiencies in the research process and can benefit the overall community as well as the individual scientists.
I am also one of the maintainers of:
- Nilearn the main python package for machine learning and visualization in neuroImaging.
- the Brain imaging data structure (BIDS - a standard to help organize and share neuroimaging data)
- BIDS-matlab
