Intervention-projection: Le cerveau des enfants

5/30/2018

J'interviendai à nouveau le 6 juin pour une discussion autour de l'apprentissage et des neurosciences après la projection du documentaire "Le cerveau des enfants" de Stephanie Brillant.

Je développe trois messages:
1) La plupart des taches humaines qui créent une augmentation de performance dans cette tache ne voient pas cette augmentation transférer a une autre capacité cognitive (ex: augmenter son vocabulaire n'augmente pas notre mémoire).
2) Il y a des exceptions comme les jeux vidéos d'action, qui génèrent une augmentation d'un nombre impressionnant de capacités cognitives.
3) La plupart des programmes d’entraînement cérébral actuels sont inefficaces, et la télévision est une catastrophe cognitive pour les enfants de moins de 3 ans.

C'est le 6 juin, à 18h30 au Cinélux, Bd Saint-Georges 8, 1205 Geneve.

I will be working for the next years as a research and teaching fellow at the University of Geneva in the Bavelier lab. We will investigate topics around learning and its generalization, how to use video games and virtual reality for that and what are the associated neural correlates.

Our research on dressmaker's super-stereovision has received a lot of attention so far (top 1/500)! I was happy to be interviewed by NPR, BBC, CBS radio news, KCBS, BYU, the AOP, and we had covers from Yahoo Style, the AIP and more than 60 news outlets or blogs. Thank you!

How many FPS is actually useful in video games?

Many gamers obsess about their FPS (frame per seconds). I was asked my opinion on the actual useful number of FPS (from a cognitive point a view) by pcgamer.com (here) and my answer made some of them snort into their coffee. I argued that the CPU/GPU resources usually allocated for displaying more than 24 FPS should rather be used for higher resolution (and smaller input lag). Thank you to Alex Wiltshire for this very good article.

The mechanism of relative disparities revealed!

Or kind of! This is quiet a technical paper but I think it shows a very coherent picture about what is actually happening: absolute disparities for depth cannot be accessed directly but need to be transformed into relative disparities or used for vergence movements. See the paper for more!

Newborns prefer when speech is synchronised with lips

I helped Bahai Guellai on her impressive piece of work: we show that babies can make the difference between lip-synchronised and lip-unsynchronised speech, which means they could use that information for lip-reading and learn to talk. It is very surprising when you think they are just born a few hours ago and can already do that. See the paper here!
