PRISME - Perception, Representation, Imagination, Space, Memory, Emotion

Team Leader : Valeria Giardino

The PRISME team at Jean Nicod Institute is built at the interface between conceptual and empirical research on perception, memory, and the study of cognitive artefacts.

It addresses four basic classes of questions :

The nature of perception, the characterization of the vehicle and of perceptual content (perceptual objects, in particular sounds, absences, shadows), the demarcation of sensory modalities and their interactions, recovery of action index in the scene, the architecture of the perceptual system.
Perspectival aspects of perception, imagination and memory.
Perceptual and memory feelings –including presence, familiarity, certainty, disorientation– and their relationship with the (sensory or representational) content of perceptual and memory experience.
The perception of / by cognitive artifacts (images, sensory substitution systems), the mobilization of resources in perceptual and memory processes involving high-level artifacts (lists, diagrams, maps, perceptual recruitment).

Two research groups have been set up within the PRISM team :

BODY, SPACE AND THE SELF (BoSS), directed by Frédérique de Vignemont
NAVIGATIONS, directed by Roberto Casati
