- Research Director (Emeritus) at INRIA
in the Sophia
Antipolis Méditerranée
Research Center. I have created
and directed the NeuroMathComp
Laboratory, a joint scientific venture
between INRIA and the JAD
Laboratory at the UCA
until December 31st, 2015. I am now a
member of the MathNeuro
group in Sophia Antipolis.

- In 2011 I started with Stephen Coombes
the Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience
(JMN) published by Springer, an Open
Access journal under the Golden
model (authors pay for
publishing). The journal
will cease publication in December
2021 but will remain fully searchable
via the SpringerOpen website. Since I
was unhappy with the Golden
model I decided to start
another Open Access purely electronic
journal under the Diamond model (neither
the readers nor the authors pay). The
new journal is called Mathematical
Neuroscience and Applications
(MNA) and its webpage is hosted by the
non-profit organisation Episciences
- I am currenlly the Editor in Chief of
MNA: see the video
- Current work, related interests:
- Mathematical and computational
neuroscience: bifurcation theory,
stochastic calculus,
integro-differential equations
- Modelling of biological and machine
visual perception
- Recent presentations:
- Tutorial at ICMNS 2016: slides
- Talk at ICMNS 2017: slides
- Talk at ICMNS 2018: slides
- Plenary talk at ICMNS
2021: slides
- Webinar for Pathways to the 2023 IHP thematic program "Random Processes in the Brain:pathways from experimental data to Math and back": slides
- Former EC funded Project:
- BrainScaleS
(supported by the European Union
seventh Framework Programme):
understanding function and interaction
of multiple spatial and temporal
scales in brain information
processing. This is a follow-up to the
FACETS
project.
- NerVi
(ERC advanced grant): develop a formal
model of information representation
and processing in the part of the
neocortex that is mostly concerned
with visual information.
- Mathemacs
(supported by the European Union
seventh Framework Programme): develop
a mathematical theory of complex
multilevel systems and their dynamics.
- HBP
(European Flagship): Theoretical
insights from mathematics can make a
valuable contribution to many
different areas of HBP research, from
modelling of low-level biological
processes, to the analysis of
large-scale patterns of brain activity
and the formalisation of new paradigms
of computation. I am a partner within
SP4
(Theory).
- I organised in June 2015 the first
International Conference on
Mathematical Neuroscience (ICMNS
2015) in Antibes, France. This was the
start of a series of conferences:
- ICMNS
2016, also held in Antibes,
- ICMNS
2017, held in Boulder, USA,
- ICMNS
2018, held in Antibes,
- ICMNS
2019, held in Copenhagen,
Denmark,
- ICMNS
2020, held online because of the
Coronavirus pandemy
- ICMNS
2021, also held online.
- In 2008 I received at the ECCV
the Koenderink prize for
fundamental contributions in Computer
Vision
- In 2014 I received the Okawa
foundation prize "
for pioneering contributions
for computer vision and for
computational neuroscience":
slides
of my acceptance speech at the
University of Tokyo
- In December 2015 I received at
ICCV15 the This
award is given to researchers in
Computer Vision who have made major
contributions to the field over their
career and who have influenced the
field in an extraordinary way. Click here
