I am delighted to announce that my project entitled YourMorals - The role of social presence on moral decision-making: realistic settings for the understanding of utilitarian and deontological preferences has been accepted for a 2-year funding Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship with excellent evaluation.

This research project emerged a few years ago while I was working on the impact of emotions on moral dilemmas with Yousri Marzouki and Olivier Oullier. Since then, I never stopped thinking that psychologists should consider social context a bit more to get a better picture of the processes associated with moral decision-making - because yes, moral choices are rarely made out of the social arena. Beyond any doubt, this project is the cornerstone of a larger program of research I expect to establish in the next years.

I am so grateful to start this position in one of the top-ranking universities in Europe, alongside an incredible supevisor, Prof. Emilie Caspar. More about my project is coming on this page. So let’s keep in touch !

This autumn, I had the opportunity to attend the Cutting EEG Worldwide Summit for the first time. During the transition to my upcoming position, I had the privilege of visiting UGent, my future host university, which was one of the 20 Cutting Gardens featured in this impressive 2023 edition.

On the menu : MNE (python package) tutorial, introduction to Bayesian Hidden-Markov models (HMM <3) and many interesting methodological talks. I was particularly absorbed by Jelmer Borst and Gabriel Weindel’s latest work on HMM solutions. They adapted these models to decompose cognitive stages of single event-related potentials and developped a python-friendly package adapted to ERPs analyses. Their slides and package are available on their Github repository.
