Dr Guillaume Hennequin University positionLecturer Dr Guillaume Hennequin is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsHome pagehttps://hennequin-lab.github.io (personal home page) Research ThemeInterestsI study the link between physiology and behaviour from a computational viewpoint. I am interested in the dynamics of sensory and motor cortices, and how they support complex computations such as movement generation or perceptual inference. Through methods from control theory, statistical physics and dynamical systems, my research has led to a couple of models of neuronal population dynamic, that explain some key aspects of movement-related activity in M1, as well as the stimulus dependence of activity variability in many cortical areas.
