Role of the fronto-parietal network in prospective action judgments

Independent researcher at INSERM Lyon since 2022, focusing on neural mechanisms underlying motivation, decision-making, and apathy. Previously spent seven years as a postdoctoral researcher in the CoActions Lab investigating neural bases of motor decisions. Still affiliated as visiting researcher collaborating on multiple projects.

Research broadly explores a range of questions pertaining to the cognitive neuroscience of human behavior. Conduct experiments to explore the interaction between cognition and action in neurologically healthy and impaired individuals. Use a variety of techniques to characterize the functional role of different parts of the motor pathways, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalography (EEG). Recent research investigates the role of the locus coeruleus in various aspects of action control, including reaching movement control, decision making, and behavioral vigor, using transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) to causally probe this neuromodulatory system.
