We make many decisions throughout the day. Some of these decisions are the sort familiar to economists studying decision under risk. The economic decision maker chooses between lotteries specified in terms of the probabilities and values of various possible outcomes: "a 50% chance of 100 Euros else nothing" or "40 Euros for sure".

La Fête de la Science est une manifestion gratuite, ouverte à tous, qui se déroule sur dix jours en France métropolitaine, en Outre-mer et à l'international. Elle est organisée par le Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l'Innovation, en lien avec de nombreux acteurs du paysage scientifique et culturel français.
Les chercheurs de l'ENS vous ouvrent les portes de leurs laboratoires ! Venez découvrir leurs recherches à travers des visites, des ateliers, des conférences et des expositions.
The origins of the variability between individuals with similar audiograms for understanding speech in noise (SPiN) still remain poorly understood. Solving this problem requires being able to disentangle the respective contributions of the supra-threshold mechanisms recruited along the auditory pathway to process complex signals.
In light of the new tools for researchers to conduct and communicate their research, we organized a workshop to discuss essential elements for a researcher in 2019. Morning session speakers (Dr. Franck Ramus, Élodie Chabrol, and Judith Lenglet) will advise researchers on how to communicate their research to their peers and the general public (e.g. blogs, twitter, graphical presentation), while afternoon speakers (Dr. Guillaume Dumas, Georgia Loukatou, Sacha Altay, and Dr. Camila Scaff) will showcase crucial tools (e.g.
Natural sounds like speech and music are structured at many timescales, but it remains unclear how these diverse timescales are cortically represented. Do processing timescales increase along the putative cortical hierarchy? What timescales are used to code speech and music? Is there hemispheric or anatomical specialization for processing particular timescales? Answering these questions has been challenging because there is no general method for estimating integration periods: the time window within which stimulus features alter the neural response.

On entendra deux présentations, d'abord de Yuka Sasaki (10h) et ensuite de Takeo Watanabe (11h), les deux de Brown University.
Visual perceptual performance fluctuates rhythmically over time,
reflecting the influence of endogenous brain oscillations in the theta
(~4–7 Hz) and alpha frequency band (~8–12 Hz). In two behavioural
studies, we show that these oscillations are not unique to vision but
also present in audition. Using signal detection theory (SDT), we
demonstrate that auditory sensitivity and criterion (changes in
decision boundary) oscillate at different frequencies: ~6 Hz for
sensitivity and ~8 Hz for criterion, implying distinct underlying
