La Grange, UNIL-Dorigny, Lausanne
Monday (12:45-21:00), Tuesday (9:30-21:00), Wednesday (9:30-13:00)

From June 23 to 25 2025, Prof. David Pascucci, PI of The Sense, and Maëlan Menétrey, postdoctoral researcher in the Psychophysics and Neural Dynamics lab (UNIL/CHUV/The Sense), will co-host a workshop titled: “Closing the Loop: The role of feedback in neural processing and perception”, supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).

Overview

What role do feedback mechanisms play in perception and neural processing?

This question – central to both cognitive and systems neuroscience – will be addressed through a series of talks and discussions over the course of this international workshop.

This event is co-organized by Prof. David Pascucci and Maëlan Menétrey, both from the Psychophysics and Neural Dynamics lab (UNIL/CHUV/The Sense), in collaboration with Prof. Michael Herzog from EPFL Brain Mind Institute (BMI). The workshop will bring together a panel of leading experts to present and discuss current findings and theoretical perspectives on feedback processing in the brain.

The workshop is also open to students from the Lemanic Neuroscience Doctoral School (LNDS) and the EPFL PhD Program in Neuroscience (EDNE). Course credits can be earned by attending in person on Monday, June 23, and Tuesday, June 24, and by presenting a poster on a current or completed research project (registration link for students).
