Presentation

Thierry Pozzo is Professor Emeritus at the University of Burgundy and Honorary Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. His research, conducted within INSERM Unit 1093 Cognition-Action and Brain Plasticity, takes into account recent advances in neuroscience that suggest a close coupling between Action and Perception. He supports the hypothesis that cognition is rooted in the bodily experience of individuals, contrary to the metaphor of the calculating brain. It is within this theoretical framework that he pursues his reflection on the cerebral mechanisms responsible for the production of actions and the perception of the living world.
