2018-2019 2nd year of research master in adapted physical activities and health University of Dijon

‘’Action language, semantic context and corticospinal excitability’’
2017-2018 1st year of research master in adapted physical activities and health University of Dijon
“Study on the immediate effect of mental training on the performance of a pointing task.”
2017 Bachelor in Sport Science, University of Dijon

My research investigates the dynamic interplay between cognition and action. Using cutting-edge techniques such as TMS, EEG, iEEG, and fMRI, I explore the sensorimotor system’s involvement in action language (among others), motor imagery, and action observation. I am also interested in how these processes can be leveraged to optimize sports training and rehabilitation programs.
