Short Bio

Audrey Dureux is a postdoctoral fellow at Western University (Canada), working with Stefan Everling. Her research investigates how primate brains process and integrate socially relevant signals, combining fMRI with behavioral and physiological measures in both humans and non-human primates. During her PhD at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center (France), she studied how visual social cues in near space modulate perception, physiological state, and brain activity in humans and macaques. In her current postdoctoral work, she develops ultra-high field fMRI paradigms in awake common marmosets, with complementary human comparisons, to characterize functional systems involved in visual, auditory, and audiovisual social communication and to better understand underlying mechanisms using causal perturbations.
