50-413: A "global neuronal workspace". To explore the neural basis of this global neuronal workspace, he has conducted functional neuroimaging experiments of masking and the attentional blink , which show that information that reaches conscious awareness leads to increased activation in a network of parietal and frontal regions. However, some of his work on this subject has been called into question due to

75-475: A methodological flaw in the "standard reasoning of unconscious priming". In addition, Dehaene has used brain imaging to study language processing in monolingual and bilingual subjects, and in collaboration with Laurent Cohen, the neural basis of reading. Dehaene and Cohen initially focused on the role of ventral stream regions in visual word recognition, and in particular the role of the left inferior temporal cortex for reading written words. They identified

100-755: A neurologist at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, Dehaene also identified patients with lesions in different regions of the parietal lobe with impaired multiplication, but preserved subtraction (associated with lesions of the inferior parietal lobule ) and others with impaired subtraction, but preserved multiplication (associated with lesions to the intraparietal sulcus). This double dissociation suggested that different neural substrates for overlearned, linguistically mediated calculations, like multiplication, are mediated by inferior parietal regions, while on-line computations, like subtraction are mediated by

125-431: A process of " neuronal recycling " that causes brain circuits originally evolved for object recognition to become tuned to recognize frequent letters, pairs of letters and words, and have tested these ideas examining brain responses in a group of adults who did not learn to read due to social and cultural constraints. Jacques Mehler Mehler studied chemistry and obtained his Licenciatura en Ciencias Quimicas at

150-604: A region they called the "visual word form area" (VWFA) that was consistently activated during reading, and also found that when this region was surgically removed to treat patients with intractable epilepsy , reading abilities were severely impaired. Dehaene, Cohen and colleagues have subsequently demonstrated that, rather than being a single area, the VWFA is the highest stage in a hierarchy of visual feature extraction for letter and word recognition. More recently, they have turned their attention to how learning to read may depend on

175-512: A sequence of syllables, distinguishing lists of bisyllabic items from lists of trisyllabic items, and computing rhythmic properties of speech utterances. These findings helped formulate bootstrapping accounts of language acquisition. Rhythmical computations became a central topic of his subsequent research. Further, he and his students explored the brain structures involved in language processing using brain-imaging devices – PET, MRI, and eventually Near-Infrared Spectroscopy. One of their early results

200-613: A shift from the constructivist viewpoint toward biologically grounded theories that required validation with much younger infants. While at the CNRS in France, he established collaborations with the Cochin-Baudeloque maternity, where they created a laboratory to study the core dispositions in neonates. These studies helped to understand precursors of language learning in neonates, such as recognizing their mother's voice, perceiving speech streams as

He began his studies of numerical cognition with Jacques Mehler, examining

275-499: The Universidad de Buenos Aires from 1952 to 1958. After that, he went to Oxford University and University College of London where he obtained his B.Sc. degree in 1959. From 1961 to 1964, he studied at Harvard University , at the time of the cognitive revolution , where he worked with George A. Miller and obtained a PhD. in psychology. Mehler was Emeritus at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales , where he directed

300-458: The University of Oregon . Dehaene returned to France in 1997 to serve as Research Director at INSERM (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research) through 2005. He subsequently began his own research group, which today numbers nearly 30 graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and researchers. In 2005, he was elected to the newly created Chair of Experimental Cognitive Psychology at

325-512: The University of Paris VI . He turned to neuroscience and psychology after reading Jean-Pierre Changeux 's book, L'Homme neuronal ( Neuronal Man: The Biology of The Mind ). Dehaene began to collaborate on computational neuronal models of human cognition, including working memory and task control, collaborations which continue to the present day. Dehaene completed his PhD in Experimental Psychology in 1989 with Jacques Mehler at

375-546: The École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Paris. After receiving his doctorate, Dehaene became a research scientist at INSERM in the Cognitive Sciences and Psycholinguistics Laboratory ( Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique ) directed by Mehler. He spent two years, from 1992 to 1994, as a post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences, with Michael Posner at

400-679: The Laboratoire de Sciences Cognitives et Psycholinguistique (LSCP); he was also the head of the Language, Cognition and Development lab at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste ( Italy ). In 1982, He became a member of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics ' Scientific Council in 1982. He was editor-in-chief of the journal Cognition until 2007. Mehler

425-457: The cross-linguistic frequency of number words, whether numbers were understood in an analog or compositional manner, and the connection between numbers and space (the "SNARC effect"). With Changeux, he then developed a computational model of numerical abilities, which predicted log-gaussian tuning functions for number neurons, a finding which has now been elegantly confirmed with single-unit physiology With long-time collaborator Laurent Cohen,

He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 2010. In 2014, together with Giacomo Rizzolatti and Trevor Robbins , he

475-419: The intraparietal sulcus. Shortly thereafter, Dehaene began EEG and functional neuroimaging studies of these capacities, showing that parietal and frontal regions were specifically involved in mathematical cognition, including the dissociation between subtraction and multiplication observed in his previous patient studies. Together with Pierre Pica , and Elizabeth Spelke , Stanislas Dehaene has studied

500-399: The mind/brain mechanisms in neonates.  In Trieste, his group became interested in how the process of statistical, or distributional learning (a non-language-specific mechanism) in infants might interact with their capacity of extracting and generalizing algebraic-like structures from their perceptual input. Subsequently, the group developed an interest in how speech prosody contributes to

Dehaene has developed computational models of consciousness, based on Bernard Baars 's Global Workspace Theory , which suggest that only one piece of information can gain access to

550-700: The process of language acquisition. Jacques and his group showed that prosody provides perceptible domains that constrain the acquisition process. Further, along with Marina Nespor and other colleagues, they hypothesized that vowels and consonants play different roles in language processing and acquisition, a proposal that has given rise to a host of experimental investigations revealing functional differences between vowels and consonants, even in infancy. Along with his students and collaborators, Jacques also explored adult speech processing, arithmetic abilities, music, social cognition, executive functions in bilingual infants, and human reasoning. For example, The Proceedings of
