Camille Grasso

Neuropsychologist & MSCA Postdoctoral Fellow in cognitive neuroscience

I am a qualified neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist trying to understand how humans make sense of time. During my PhD, I studied the representation and processing of abstract temporal concepts such as past and future. After my PhD (2022), I joined Dr. van Wassenhove’s group at NeuroSpin, Paris-Saclay, as part of the Cognition & Brain Dynamics team and the EXPERIENCE Project, where I combined behavioural, neurophysiological, virtual reality, and computational methods to examine how humans understand, feel, and estimate time.

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Global Postdoctoral Fellow, working between the Laboratoire de Psychologie et NeuroCognition (LPNC, Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS) with Nathan Faivre, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine with Dr. Kenneth Kishida. My current project investigates the neural and electrochemical mechanisms of subjective time and temporal distortions, by bridging behavioural, electrophysiological, and electrochemical approaches.

More broadly, my research asks how temporal experiences are represented, structured, and transformed in the human mind and brain. I am especially interested in the geometry of temporal representations, the dynamics of conscious experience, and the role of neural and dopaminergic fluctuations in shaping subjective time. I am a passionate researcher doing my best, who loves talking about science and who is always in quest of learning and understanding new things, so please do not hesitate to contact me!
