1. Spatial priority maps for attentional control: plasticity, functional organization, permeability to multiple biasing signals.
2. Neural and functional correlates of visual selective attention. Temporal dynamics of perceptual and attentional processes.
3. Behavioral and neural manifestations of perceptual and attentional learning, with a specific interest in reward-based learning and statistical learning processes
4. Preparatory signals for reaching and grasping arm/hand actions in the posterior parietal cortex of the macaque monkey
5. Role of the cerebellum in cognitive functions, notably in perceptual learning
