Biography

Biography

Mickael is originally from France, trained as an engineer in acoustics, with a strong interest in music and speech perception. He completed his PhD in 2010 from Cardiff University (Wales) working on the cocktail party problem. After two postdoctoral positions in University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins (USA) working with cochlear implant users, he moved to Montreal in 2015 as a Research Associate in different research environments (SCSD and Otolaryngology at McGill, Psychology at UdM, CRBLM, BRAMS, CIRMMT) and broadened his interests to other clinical populations. As of 2019, he works in the Psychology Department of Concordia University. His laboratory focuses on hearing, language, and cognition. His research covers audiological topics with hearing-impaired individuals and cognitive work on communication difficulties, and it touches upon both ends of the lifespan. The methods include behavioral protocols (e.g. psychoacoustics) and neuro/physiological techniques (tDCS, pupillometry, skin conductance and heart rate measurements, EEG, fMRI, fNIRS).

Teaching activities

Fundamentals of Sensation and Perception: PSYC 363

This course introduces the physiological and psychological mechanisms of Perception. Thorough treatment is given to questions of how information about the world is acquired through visual and auditory systems, and other modalities, that together is used with stored information to create an on-going mental representation of the world. Topics such as pitch perception, color vision, perception of movement, size and space perception, illusions, and perception of distance are covered.

Programming in Psychology: PSYC 725

This course covers basic and more advanced skills in programming in the context of experimental psychology and neuroscience. It focuses mainly on Python and R, as these two environments are open source and increasingly used by researchers and data science professionals. We review basic programming concepts and apply them directly to various forms of experimental designs using the PsychoPy building platform, from audio/visual stimuli presentation, subject responses, and interface with neurophysiological measurements. Data manipulation, analysis, and visualization are covered in R. Emphasis is placed on hands-on learning, developing the tools that students would eventually need in their academic endeavors. The goal is to shape a new generation of scientists that no longer rely on proprietary softwares, including for statistics.


Statistical analysis 2: PSYC 316

This course is designed to advance students' understanding of hypothesis testing and statistical inferences. From general linear models to mixed effects models, we highlight the limits of null-hypothesis significance testing and explore alternatives (Bayesian approaches, confidence intervals, effect size, meta-analyses). Students learn how to use programs such as JASP (https://jasp-stats.org/) and R (https://www.r-project.org/).

Research activities

Overview

My research is primarily about hearing, speech and music, and cognitive sciences, using a combination of behavioral work (psychoacoustics) and neurophysiological techniques (body sensors or brain imaging). 

My general goal is to help individuals with sensory loss, taking a multi-disciplinary approach. Current projects include:1) the neuroplasticity of the brain stimulated by cochlear implants; 2) the cognitive load experienced when listening, understanding, and memorizing; 3) vocal production and control; 4) the challenges of cocktail-party environments; 5) decoding emotion in sounds; 6) bilingualism, musicianship, and prosody.
