Motion Processing
-----------------
During my Master intership I investigated how
the form cues from the ventral stream may influence the V1/MT motion
processing in the primate visual cortex (including humans).
In particular I defined a recurrent V1/MT system with directionals
V2 cells modulating the V1 to MT feedforward integration.
Our results agreeing with physiological and psychophysical data include
motion integration in V1 and MT explained by feedback (suggested by
Angelucci & Bullier, 2003), motion segmentation, a main characteristic
of MT and extrinsic junctions segregation.

This model has been extended to a dynamical system during my PhD thesis.
Now providing psychophysical like eye movements and more results similar
to perception and cell recordings for more illusions
(Lorenceau-Alais illusions, Huang experiment).

SOLAIRE
-------
I am still working with Éric Castet and Jean-Baptiste Bernard from
the DyVa Team on the SOLAIRE project, another INRIA-CNRS collaboration.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macular_degeneration[Macular degeneration]
is touching more and more aged people. To help them to read again confortably
we are developing a visual aid system controlled by the gaze. This work
is done in collaboration of orthoptists in the La Timone hospital, Marseille.
