He is also the Director of the Institute of Neurobiology Alfred Fessard (FRC Y2118), which regroups all the Neuroscience Research Units on the CNRS Campus of Gif-sur-Yvette. Within UNIC, he is the leader of the research group ”Cognitive Neurosciences and Cortical Vision”. He is also an associate member of the Research Center in Epistemology at the Ecole Polytechnique (CREA-X). His teaching activities are in the field of cellular and systems Neuroscience, with a particular interest in the interface between Physics, Neuroinformatics and Biology. He is Full Professor in Cognitive Sciences at the Department of Humanity and Social Sciences at the Ecole Polytechnique. He teaches Master’s and Doctoral level courses annually at the University Paris VI, the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Cognitive Science Department-DEC), the Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité (ESE) and participates regularly in European Postgraduate courses in computational neuroscience (PENS European Course in Computational Neuroscience (Arcachon, France), Natal (Brazil) and in complex systems (FIAS, Frankfurt, Germany). After completing a Engineering degree in Electronics, System Theory and Computer Science at the Grande Ecole ”Ecole Supérieure d’Electricité”, Paris (France), he obtained a doctorate d’Etat in Human Biology and Modelling at the University of Paris V School of Medicine (France) in 1978 and a second doctorate d’Etat-ès-Sciences in Neuroscience at the University of Paris VI (France) in 1982. The current research interests of Yves Frégnac include functional intracellular and synaptic imaging of visual cortical receptive fields, optical imaging of cortical network dynamics, supervised models of Hebbian plasticity during development and adulthood, and the psychophysical correlates of perceptual binding processes in primary cortical areas. The research work of Yves Frégnac has led to more than 100 publications in refereed journals and 15 book chapters and reviews. In 1999 he was awarded the Grand Prix Jaffé by the French Academy of Sciences. In 2008, he was awarded the Prix Louis D. by the Institute of France (the second largest Prize given by the Académie des Sciences) for his interdisciplinary work in the fields of Complexity, Biology and Computational Neuroscience. In addition to recurrent funding from the CNRS, his work has been financed by national grants from the CNRS, the National Research Agency (ANR) and international European grants (HFSP and CE (FET and Bio-I3)) at the interface between Physics and Biology. Over the past 8 years he has been the French CNRS coordinator for two EC grants (IST FET initiatives Life-like perception: ”SenseMaker” and ”Facets”). |
