À propos
OD graduated in applied physics at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, and obtained a PhD from Université Paris Sud in signal processing applied to human neurophysiology at CNRS / La Salpêtrière Hospital. He did a post-doc at University College London where he developed a highly cited method for inferring properties of neuronal populations underlying brain oscillations (Dynamic Causal Modelling for MEG/EEG). In 2005, he obtained a permanent researcher position to coordinate an EEG/fMRI program in humans and rodents at the INSERM Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience, France. He is now Inserm Director of Research and has been leading a research group focused on preclinical and clinical neurophysiology in refractory neurological and psychiatric disorders. The main topic of his current research is to understand the effects of brain stimulation on the organization of functional brain networks. He has published more than 180 articles in international peer-reviewed journals including several highly cited articles in human neurophysiology and epilepsy. He holds 1 patent and developed 3 software solutions distributed worldwide. He has participated in more than 60 competitive research grants, e.g. was PI of 1 ERC-CoG (ended in 2019), 1 ERC-PoC (ended in 2019) and was co-leading some medical applications of the European Flagship Human Brain Project (ended in 2023). He has been involved as scientist in more than 18 clinical trials, and as expert in many evaluation committees, e.g. European Commission, ANR (past president of the panel “Integrative and Cognitive Neuroscience”), NSF for CRCNS call.
