About this position
This postdoctoral project is hosted by the Touch&Move laboratory at CNRS and focuses on neurotechnology for understanding and improving sensorimotor control in mice. The team studies how cortical circuits integrate tactile and proprioceptive information that is essential for motor learning, using innovative brain-machine interfaces built around real-time decoding of neuronal activity in the motor cortex.
The project builds on several existing approaches developed by the group: control of a custom forelimb prosthesis by mice, patterned optogenetic stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex, and closed-loop artificial somatosensory feedback that supports motor performance. The advertised work aims to combine a mesoscopic decoding approach based on wide-field calcium imaging with bidirectional all-optical feedback, so that sensory information originating from the prosthesis can be artificially delivered back to the cortex.
The postdoctoral researcher will evaluate experimental strategies in mice to provide proprioceptive and/or tactile information via optogenetic feedback during sensorimotor tasks carried out with an all-optical brain-machine interface. The role includes experimental design, data analysis, engineering work for the implementation of the experiments, and animal experimentation.
The research environment is centered on the Touch&Move laboratory, led by Isabelle Ferezou and Valérie Ego-Stengel, which investigates somatosensory-motor integration through recording and manipulation of neuronal dynamics in the mouse.
