Research axes and methodology
My research focuses on patients diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, as well as participants from the general population.
More specifically, I work on the attentional bias towards and away from food observed in this disorder, as well as on autonomic nervous activity and interoceptive abilities.
Regarding methodology, I work with quantative data: physiological signals recordings (cardiac, electrodermal, and respiratory activity, and pupillometry), eye-tracking recordings, behavioral, and psychometric data.
Other research themes
Prior to my PhD thesis, I also worked as an engineer on a psychology of education projet combining quantitative and qualitative data. This experience allowed me to gain abilities specific to qualitative research, including thematic analysis of interviews.
