Title
The Neural Architecture of Visual Mental Imagery
Abstract
Paolo Bartolomeo, MD, PhD, trained as a clinical neurologist and neuroscientist. He is internationally recognized for his expertise in the cognitive neuroscience of subjective experience and consciousness. He leads the PICNIC laboratory at the Paris Brain Institute. His research has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the structural and functional neuroanatomy of attention, perception, and mental imagery. His work adopts a multidisciplinary approach combining state-of-the-art behavioral assessments, advanced neuroimaging, and neurostimulation techniques. His research, conducted with both healthy individuals and patients with brain lesions, has provided valuable insights into the neural foundations of conscious experience, cognitive recovery after stroke, and the dynamic interactions between perception and attention.
