Cyril Pernet

Scientific interest

Dr. Pernet is a senior scientist with interested in open science (data sharing with OpenNeuroPET; data standards with BIDS; best practicies with the OHBM COBIDAS; practical ethics with the Open Brain Consent), and neuroimaging methods (preprocessing pipelines, QC, statistics) for clinical applications (brain tumours, dementia).

Biography

Dr Pernet, obtained a PhD in Cognitive Neuropsychology from the University of Toulouse III in France in 2004. He was then working with Prof. JF Demonet and Dr P Celsis on neurodevelopmental disorders using MRI, functional MRI and EEG. He next obtained a post-doc fellowship from the Fyssen Foundation to work in Finland with Prof. R. Salmelin on reading using MEG. He moved to UK in 2006, working in Glasgow with Prof. B. Belin as post-doc research assistant, working on auditory (voice) processing using fMRI and EEG. He joined the Brain Research Imaging Center, Edinburgh in 2007, as fMRI lead for SINAPSE (Scottish Imaging Network A Platform for Scientific Excellence) and became Senior Research Fellow & functional imaging scientific leader for Edinburgh Imaging in 2015. In 2021, he joined the Neurobiology Research Unit in Cophenhagen, coordinating the development of OpenNeuroPET.
