I started using functional ultrasound imaging during my PhD, studying the representation of natural sounds in ferret auditory cortex in ENS, Paris with Yves Boubenec and Shihab Shamma. I’m now a postdoc with Matteo Carandini in UCL, London. I am interested in brainwide dynamics in relation with spontaneous fluctuations in behavioral state and arousal. In all of these projects, I have been working with awake, head-fixed animals implanted with a cranial window. I am interested in the (collaborative?) development of denoising and preprocessing methods, as well as combining fUSi with other methods (optogenetics, electrophysiology, fiber photometry…). |

I started doing fUSI during my PhD on pharmaco fUSI (ph-fUSI) with Zsolt Lenkei in 2018. Trained by Jeremy Ferrier on anaesthetised, thinned skull rats, I later moved to awake mice and developed with Andrea Kliewer a end-to-end protocol for standardised ph-fUSI in head fixed, behaving mice in a floating cage. During the second half of my PhD I worked extensively with Samuel Diebolt on denoising for awake transcranial fUSI to do resting state functional connectivity. Together and with Thomas Deffieux we initiated the fUSI-BIDS extension proposal to facilitate curation and exchange of fUSI data. I am now doing a postdoc in Alessandro Gozzi's lab, where I work on more fundamental questions on the emergence of rs-FC. I am using data cming from both fMRI and fUSI to build models of how brain infraslow dynamics emerge at rest. |
