Research.
Tallon-Baudry is an electrophysiologist working on the topics of visual consciousness and brain body interactions. Her PhD thesis focused on the role of 40Hz oscillations on visual integration. She works in the field of induced gamma-band oscillations and visual consciousness. Her work uses a combination of EEG and MEG in healthy participants, intracranial recordings in epileptic patients, and behavioural experimentation methods. Her more recent work focuses on the relationship between signals arising in the viscera, brain dynamics, and cognition.
