Claude Braun

1 | Research Overview

Claude Braun’s research focuses on the neuropsychology of hemispheric interactions and hemispheric differences and on developmental disorders (early lesions, neurogenetic disorders). He is also involved in work in neuropsychiatric syndromes, and in deficits in macroscopic action planning (scripts).
