Biography

Dave Saint-Amour is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the Université de Montréal. His research focuses on the neurophysiological study of the human visual system in individuals with developmental disorders. He has a particular interest in the mechanisms by which vision can influence and interact with other sensory systems, emphasizing multisensory integration. To address these research questions, he employs functional imaging techniques, including surface and intracranial event-related potentials obtained from epileptic patients, optical imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and magnetoencephalography (MEG). He has contributed to various research projects aimed at understanding the developmental exposure to environmental contaminants and their effects on brain organization in Inuit youths, and the reasoning differences in children with autism spectrum disorders. His work involves active collaboration with other researchers and institutions, such as the CHU Sainte-Justine.
