About

Anne-Emmanuelle Priot is a leading researcher in spatial cognition and visual perception, with a particular focus on how humans navigate and orient themselves in space. Her work bridges fundamental questions in neuroscience and psychology, exploring the interplay between vision and other sensory modalities. In her highly cited 2013 paper, "Spatial linear navigation: Is vision necessary?", Priot challenged conventional assumptions by demonstrating that non-visual cues—such as proprioception and vestibular input—can support effective linear navigation, even in the absence of sight. This contribution has been pivotal in understanding the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying spatial orientation, with implications for rehabilitation in visually impaired populations. With over 9 citations to this seminal work, Priot’s research continues to influence studies on multisensory integration and spatial memory. Her findings have been recognized for their methodological rigor and theoretical depth, making her a key voice in the field. For students and researchers, Priot’s work offers a compelling window into how the brain constructs a sense of space, blending empirical insights with real-world applications in assistive technology and cognitive neuroscience.
