Activities / CV

Anne-Lise SAIVE is a Computational Neuroscience Researcher at the Life research center, affiliated to UNIQUE – Unifying Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence in Québec. She has a multidisciplinary profile, combining cutting-edge expertise in cognitive sciences in olfaction, emotion and memory, brain imaging (fMRI, MEG, EEG), and analytical methods based on computational neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence.
Her previous work has focused on the functioning of the hippocampus and sensory cortices in the Proust phenomenon - the ability of odors to bring back very vivid and emotional memories, suddenly taking us back to a specific time and place. She now aims to create new learning tools able to boost sensory perception and improve memory performance for students and sensory experts including sommeliers, cooks and perfumers.
