Pascal Gaillard is an Associate Professor at the University of Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, where he conducts research at the CLLE Lab (Cognition, Languages, Language, Ergonomics, UMR5263) in the "Language and Cognitive Processes" Team, while teaching in the Music Department at the National Higher Institute for Teaching and Education in Toulouse - Midi-Pyrénées (INSPE). His academic career spans over two decades, beginning as an Assistant Professor in Musicology at Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail from 1998 to 2000, before becoming an Associate Professor at the University of Toulouse since 2002. His educational background includes: PhD in Musicology and Auditory Perception (1996-2000) from Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail / Université de Paris - Jussieu Master (DEA) in Musicology - Ethnomusicology (1993-1994) from Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail Maîtrise in Musicology - Ethnomusicology (1989-1990) from Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail Licence in Musicology (1985-1989) from Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail Dr. Gaillard's research focuses on auditory perception and cognitive processes, particularly the categorization of sounds. His work spans multiple domains including musical timbre perception, speech perception in individuals with age-related hearing loss, environmental sound recognition, and auditory processing in deaf individuals with cochlear implants. He has pioneered studies on how humans organize their sound world through categorization, drawing on prototypical categorization theory developed by Rosch (1976). A key insight from his research is that auditory categorization is dynamic rather than fixed, varying according to listener needs, tasks, and action goals. His recent publications demonstrate a strong interdisciplinary approach, bridging music cognition, clinical audiology, and cognitive neuroscience. There's a clear trend toward applied research with clinical implications, particularly for deaf children with cochlear implants, as evidenced by multiple studies on humanoid robots for speech-language training. His work also shows increasing integration of computational approaches, including transfer learning for music preference prediction and ontology-based data management. Dr. Gaillard has secured numerous research grants from prestigious funding bodies including the French National Research Agency (ANR), Occitanie Regional Council, and ANSES. Current projects include "The hospital and its 'Beeps': evaluation of the hearing health of caregivers" (2025-2028), "SILENCE - Comparative acoustics: earth, planets and extreme environments" (2024-2026), and "Rehabilitation of age-related hearing loss: evolution of cognitive load in a 3D virtual environment - AgeHear" (2020-2024). He directs the "Cognition, Behavior and Use" facilities (CCU) which include specialized auditory booths for research. Since 2003, he has developed TCL-LabX, experimental software for conducting categorization studies. His research collaborations span international boundaries, working with labs in France, Canada, and the Netherlands, as well as industry partners in aeronautics and healthcare sectors.

Vikas Bhandawat is an Associate Professor at Drexel University's School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems, where he leads the Bhandawat Laboratory. His research focuses on understanding how animal behavior emerges from the complex interaction between the nervous system, the body, and the environment, using Drosophila (fruit flies) as a model organism due to their relatively simple brain and available genetic tools. His educational background includes: MS in Chemistry (Integrated BS and MS) from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India (1993-1998) PhD in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine (1999-2005), with thesis on "Elementary Events Underlying Olfactory Transduction" Postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School (2005-2009) under Prof. Rachel Wilson Dr. Bhandawat's research spans multiple timescales of behavior, from milliseconds to minutes, with a focus on sensorimotor integration during locomotion. His lab employs a highly interdisciplinary approach combining in vivo whole-cell patch clamp recordings, imaging, quantitative behavioral measurement, biomechanics, and computational modeling. His work has revealed that fly locomotion can be decomposed into discrete "locomotor features" that are modularly affected by odors, providing insight into how sensory information transforms into action. An analysis of his recent publications shows a consistent focus on understanding the neural and biomechanical basis of locomotion across multiple timescales. His work bridges neuroscience, biomechanics, and computational approaches, with particular emphasis on odor-modulated locomotion, descending motor control, and the biomechanics of legged locomotion in Drosophila. His research demonstrates how complex behaviors emerge from relatively simple neural systems. Dr. Bhandawat has built a productive research program with numerous publications in high-impact journals including Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, eLife, and PNAS. His work has contributed significantly to our understanding of how sensory information is transformed into motor output in a relatively simple model system. His laboratory actively mentors students and researchers, employing a multi-pronged approach to study behavior. The lab seeks to create the next generation of professionals with multidisciplinary skills necessary to tackle complex real-world problems. They are particularly interested in building a diverse team of biologists, neuroscientists, and engineers to address questions spanning from sensation to action. The Bhandawat Laboratory focuses on three main research areas: 1) From Sensation to Action (algorithms and circuits underlying transformation of sensation to action), 2) Descending Motor Control (studying descending pathways in Drosophila), and 3) Biomechanics of Locomotion (understanding the mechanics of legged movement). The lab has developed innovative techniques for recording neural activity while measuring behavior and has made significant contributions to understanding how odors modulate locomotion through discrete behavioral states.
