Maxime Ambard obtained his certificate from the EPF Engineering School in 2002. After working one year for a computer science engineering company as a programming engineer, he obtained a master in cognitive sciences at Lyon II University. Afterwards, he obtained his PhD at the Henri Poincaré University in Nancy (France) as part of the CORTEX team at the INRIA Nancy. His Phd work focuses on the impact of synaptic inhibition on the information transfer operated by the mitral cells of the olfactory bulb. He then worked for four years at the Bernstein Center Freiburg, in Germany, as a post-doctoral fellow. He is a lecturer at the University of Burgundy since September 2013. He teaches computer science at the IUT Dijon and he is attached to the Laboratory for Research on Learning and Development (Laboratoire d'Etude sur l'Apprentissage et le Développement, LEAD). His current research area focuses on neural, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of the multisensory integration involved in the mental representation of the acoustic environment.
