Overview

Olivier Collignon is affiliated with the Université Catholique de Louvain in Belgium. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Psychology, with a strong focus on subfields including Cognitive Neuroscience, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, Statistics and Probability, Social Psychology, and Sensory Systems.

The main topics addressed in their work include multisensory perception and integration, visual perception and processing mechanisms, tactile and sensory interactions, neural dynamics and brain function, cognitive and developmental aspects of mathematical skills, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, and neuroscience and music perception.

Collignon has published extensively in multiple venues, with frequent publications in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), the Journal of Neuroscience, Cortex, and the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.

Among their recent papers are:

  • Variability in the analysis of a single neuroimaging dataset by many teams, 2020, Nature
  • Categorical representation from sound and sight in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex of sighted and blind, 2020, eLife
  • Shared Representation of Visual and Auditory Motion Directions in the Human Middle-Temporal Cortex, 2020, Current Biology
  • General Enhancement of Spatial Hearing in Congenitally Blind People, 2020, Psychological Science
  • Visual motion processing recruits regions selective for auditory motion in early deaf individuals, 2021, NeuroImage

Frequent coauthors who collaborate with Collignon include Roberto Bottini, Ceren Battal, Stefania Mattioni, André Mouraux, and Mohamed Rezk. Collaborative efforts with these researchers have yielded multiple publications and contributed to the interdisciplinary nature of Collignon's work.
