Sleep-dependent memory consolidation – ENSOM
To determine the impact of nocturnal diseases on nocturnal consolidation processes in children. We could speculate that their qualitative or quantitative alterations of sleep may explain their learning difficulties by altering their sleep-dependent knowledge consolidation. Our project will also aim
Parallel orthographic processing and multi-word reading – O-codeReader
The main empirical objective of this project was to develop and test a new paradigm for studying the spatial integration of orthographic information during reading - the Flanking Letters Lexical Decision task. The theoretical objective was to develop and test a new computational model of orthographi

CHronology of Rapid Climatic changes and Human adaptation in West Africa – CHeRCHA
Research on the mobility of the Palaeolithic and Neolithic societies and on cultural changes in Africa often uses deterministic arguments, which put forward the role of climatic changes, in particular the abrupt dry events that have characterized the Pleistocene, with the final cycle of increasing a
Differential Archaeology of the Linguistic Sign – SEMAINO
A set of issues, whose roots go back at least as far as Aristotle, is still of paramount importance today, insofar as it governs the most fundamental questions we ask about language, its meaning and its uses. Throughout debates whose emphasis has shifted hence and forth between logic, grammar, theol
