Draft:Benjamin Morillon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Benjamin Morillon is a neuroscience researcher specialized in auditory neuro-physiology, a subfield of Systems neuroscience.

He works at INS Marseille.[1]

Work

[edit]

M. Morillon confirmed that voluntary movements helped in the temporal regularity of simple tasks.[2]

He studied the Lateralization of brain function, the asymmetrical treatment by both hemispheres from the brain specifically for music and speech.

He studied why syncopate music are more inviting to dance.[3]

In 2025 his team showed that moving rhythmically can facilitate naturalistic speech perception in a noisy environment.[4]

Formation

[edit]

M. Morillon studied for his Ph.D at École normale supérieure (Paris) and did tow post-doctorates, one at Columbia University and the other at McGill University were he collaborated with Pr Zatorre.[5]

Recognition

[edit]

M. Morillon won several prizes like the Bettencourt Prize for young researchers in 2012 [6] and Scientific Emergence Prize for fundamental research of 2022.[7][8]

He received subventions for his team to work on "Defining an integrated model of the neural processing of speech in light of its multiscale dynamics"[9] from the European Commission [10].
