What I'm doing

I am a neuroscientist interested in the sensorimotor control of reaching and visual attention. I am currently working at York University (Toronto, Canada) as a postdoctoral researcher in the Sensorimotor Control Lab led by Dr. Denise Henriques. I am also a visiting researcher at Giessen University (Germany) in the team Perception And Action, with Dr. Katja Fiehler. I am investigating how we adapt our movements to unexpected perturbations from the external environment, using online experiments and virtual reality.

What I did

I obtained a double PhD degree in Cognitive Neuroscience (Université Lyon 1, France) and Vision Sciences (Université de Montréal, Canada). My research project consisted in understanding how the brain combines and transforms sensory information such as vision and proprioception to produce and control reach movements. I conducted studies involving healthy participants as well as patients suffering from optic ataxia, a sensorimotor deficit following parietal brain damage.

My reseach interests

I have a strong research interest in multisensory integration, sensorimotor transformation, online motor control as well as patient-oriented research. I am also involved in research about attention reallocation and the interaction between spatial attention and eye movements.
