Pierre got the Prize of the best thesis at EPFL!

On the 14th of March 2024, Pierre received the Biaggi de Blasys award 2024 at the Brain awareness week in Lausanne. This prize is attributed once a year to the author of an outstanding PhD thesis in translational neuroscience in doctoral schools of the lemanic area (UNIL, UNIGE, EPFL), in Switzerland.
In his PhD entitled “Mechanisms underlying reinforcement learning of motor skills”, jointly performed between the lab and the lab of Prof. Hummel at EPFL, Pierre used different approaches including in-depth kinematic analyses, fMRI and transcranial temporal interference stimulation to explore reinforcement processes at play during motor learning.
Congrats Pierre!!
