Research and Career[edit | edit source]
Catherine Tallon-Baudry's research primarily revolves around understanding how the brain processes and integrates information to give rise to conscious experiences. She employs various neuroimaging techniques, including electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), to study brain oscillations and their role in neural communication and consciousness.
One of her notable contributions to the field is her work on the visual system and how certain frequencies of brain waves, particularly in the gamma band, are associated with visual perception and attention. Her studies suggest that these oscillations play a crucial role in neural coding and are potentially linked to the neural correlates of consciousness.
