It was great to see so many of you at the ILCB Welcome Back Party — a perfect occasion to meet our new members and reconnect with familiar faces. We were treated to two lightning and enlightening talks. Olga Kepinska taught us how learning multiple languages shapes the brain. Philippe Albouy made a strong case for the causal role of brain oscillations in memory. Le ciel nous a souri: bright sun, blue skies, and a great atmosphere all around. Many thanks to LPL for hosting us, and to Nadera for organizing everything so efficiently.
I’m also delighted to share that the ILCB ethics protocol for multimodal scanning (fMRI, MEG, EEG) has been extended until May 2027. A big thank you to Pascal Belin and Agnès Trébuchon for steering this through. If you plan to use it, please get in touch with us before submitting a formal request as with any other project.
Many thanks as well to all our project teams who gave excellent presentations during the recent ANR/AMIDEX funding review. The evaluators were genuinely impressed by the depth and originality of your work — and by the fact that five ILCB members have been awarded ERC grants in 2025–2026, an extraordinary achievement.
Science is moving forward, and it’s increasingly clear that ILCB is the place to be — as argued by one of the members of our International Advisory Board in the quote below. |
