Bio

Bastien Berret was educated in Dijon, FR, where he got a Maîtrise de Mathématiques in 2003 and a Master degree in Informatics and Image Sciences in 2005, from the Université de Bourgogne. From 2005 to 2008, he was a PhD student in Applied Mathematics and Behavioral/Computational Neurosciences. He was supervised by Pr. T. Pozzo and Pr. J-P. Gauthier and was supported by the French spatial center (CNES) to study the role of gravity during the planning and execution of human movements.

 

During these years he mainly dealt with Optimal Control Theory, Signal Processing, Data Analysis, and Data Acquisition during Experiments with Humans... In the meanwhile, he developed good programming skills in Matlab and Maple.

 

In 2009 he joined the Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia to investigate how the brain plans and learns movements. For instance, he is currently interested in the idea of modularity and compositionality of motor laws, thought as a possible solution to explain the high adaptability and flexibility capacities exhibited by humans as compared to robots. He also continues to study motor control to better identify how vision and proprioception have influence on the formation of a specific motor plan in the brain.
