Brief Biography
Olivier Bertrand is the director of the “Brain Dynamics and Cognition” Laboratory (INSERM U821) and the vice-director of the Federated Institute of Neuroscience in Lyon, France. He graduated from the National Engineering School of Telecommunication in Paris (1981), and obtained a PhD Thesis in Biomedical Engineering at INSA, Lyon (1985). He was recruited as a research fellow at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in 1986 and became a research director in 1997 at the “Brain Signal and Processes” Laboratory (INSERM U280), Lyon, France.
His research focuses on the functional organization of auditory perception, attention and memory in humans, and more particularly on the elucidation of the cortical oscillatory dynamics underlying those functions. This involves electrophysiological (electro- and magneto-encephalography, intracranial EEG) and fMRI techniques, combined with behavioral measures, in both healthy subjects and neurological and psychiatric patients. He also contributed to methodological progress in electrophysiology by developing advanced signal processing techniques.
