Felipe Pegado
Ph.D, MD
Associate professor
Paris Cité University
Felipe Pegado is an associate professor in developmental psychology and cognitive neurosciences at the Université Paris Cité. He holds a medical degree and a double specialization in adult and child/adolescent psychiatry, acquired respectively in Rio de Janeiro and Paris. He obtained his PhD in cognitive neuroscience studying the cognitive and brain changes related to literacy acquisition under the supervision of Stanislas Dehaene. Felipe was then trained in advanced brain imaging techniques such as MVPA (multivoxel pattern analysis) by Hans Op de Beeck in Belgium. After that, he returned to France to study parallel word processing in skilled readers, under the supervision of Jonathan Grainger. He then continued his research at AMPIRIC (a center of excellence on research in education and teacher training in Aix-Marseille University), studying multimodal learning strategies for literacy acquisition, before joining the LaPsyDÉ.
Felipe employs a variety of methods such as Electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioral measures. He is also attempting to bridge the gap between cognitive neuroscience research and real-life learning at school, using randomized controlled trials.
