Sid Kouider Research

Prof. Sid Kouider

I am a cognitive neuroscientist working on neurophysiological signatures of cognitive processing. My work relies on psychophysics and brain imaging (fMRI/EEG) for:

– Researching neurophysiological signatures of conscious and unconscious mental states in the human brain.

– Applying these neurophysiological signatures to probe mental states when humans cannot report their own thoughts: infants, sleepers and coma patients.

Recently I founded Nextmind, a spin-off from my lab in Paris. This startup uses our expertise in real-time EEG, machine learning, visual attention, consciousness, and metacognition to build the next generation of brain-computer interfaces.
