Céline Marie obtained her PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience in Marseille in 2010. At this time she worked with Mireille Besson at the French National Centre of Scientific Researc and her work centred on studying the influence of expertise (musical and linguistic) on the processing of linguistic and non-linguistic sounds in adults. Using psychological and brain imaging methods, she examined the transfer of training effects from one domain of expertise to another domain. After her PhD, Dr. Marie went to Canada in order to work with Laurel Trainor as a postdoctoral researcher at McMaster University. Her current work focuses on studying the effects of brain development and musical expertise on simultaneous sound processing in infants and adults. Her recent published work showed that infants as young as 7-month olds process simultaneous sounds like adults, with a more robust encoding of the higher pitched tone.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
