Stephanie Dubal

Stephanie Dubal is a researcher specializing in Cognitive Neuroscience. After a PhD in Cognitive Sciences from the University of Paris 6 and a post-doctorate at Harvard University, she joined the CNRS to explore the impact of affective processes on perceptual and attentional information processing.

Her work shows that emotions modulate information coding very early on in the brain, as early as the primary cortical areas. Emotional processes are therefore involved in the early stages of encoding information from the environment, modulating the way we perceive and pay attention to the surrounding world. 

To explore the impact of attention on decision-making, Stéphanie joined the Department of Behavioral Economics at UCLA. This year of interdisciplinary research led her to focus on the translation of knowledge from Affective Neuroscience research. Stéphanie Dubal then obtained a university diploma in innovative scientific mediation at Paris Diderot University, and became interested in the impact of affective processes in the field of education.
