Présentation
I am Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology at the University of Lille-SHS. I obtained a PhD in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Grenoble (Motor adaptation to gravito-inertial forces) and then joined the David Lee's Lab at the University of Edinburgh to work on the relation between perception and action during a 1.5 years post-doc. I was hired as Assistant-Professor at the University of Lille in 1994, where I became Full Professor in 2002 after having obtained the HDR (Space perception in the control of voluntary motor actions). I developed then a research group on the relation between Perception, Action and Cognition and became director of the Cognitive and Affective Sciences Lab in 2009, which is a CNRS research Lab (SCALab) since 2015. I am particularly interested in how motor representations shape objects and space perception as well as conceptual knowledge in individual and social contexts, using experimental and neuroimaging methods in both standard and pathological populations. I also coordinate the European Master on Neuro-cognitive processes and affective sciences in collaboration with the Universities of Minho (Portugal) and Naples (Italy). Both the research and training programs benefit from the innovative technological platform Equipex-IrDIVE that I coordinate on the Plaine Images site at Tourcoing.
