On the occasion of the PhD Defense of Aynaz Adl Zarrabi, the FEMTO Neuro group has hosted a mini-workshop on recent avances in auditory reverse correlation on Wed. July 9th, 2025, in Besançon, France.
Reverse correlation is a family of experimental and analytical methods in human psychophysics which takes inspiration from Wiener/Volterra theories of system identification. While reverse correlation has a long and prestigious history in neurophysiology and psychophysics, its relatively recent application to high-level auditory tasks such as music or language perception has lead to a burgeoning research community - with France as one of its local epicenters.
Following a number of similar previous events organized in Paris (2018) and Ghent (2024), this mini-workshop brings together 4 early-career CNRS PIs from Paris, Aix and Marseille for a morningful of recent advances in auditory reverse correlation.

In 2024-2025, the FEMTO Neuro group has been putting together a monthly series of invited seminars on the topic of machine learning for dynamical systems. Our 2024 program has included talks by Prof. J. Nathan Kutz (Dept. Applied Mathematics, University of Washington), Dr Nicolas Boullé (Dept. Applied Mathematics, Imperial College London), Dr Lou Zonca (Center for Brain & Cognition, University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona), Dr Karim Cherifi (Centre for Industry and Science, TU Berlin), Dr Zahra Monfared (Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing, Heidelberg University) and Dr Richard Gao (Tübingen AI Center, University of Tübingen).
