Clara graduated in 2022 from a master degree in biomedical engineering. She then worked in a pharmaceutical industry but, after few months, she decided to switch to fundamental research and joined the CoActions lab in June 2023 to begin a PhD. She will focus on the speed-accuracy trade off during reaching movement as well as on the role of arousal in this trade off. To do so, she will use reward, transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Welcome to the lab!
"My thesis in 180 seconds" competition of UCLouvain was held on 21th March. Participants had 3 minutes to popularize their thesis and convince the public with a single illustration. Emmanuelle Wilhelm won the local selection of UCLouvain for the "3 Minute Thesis", the English version of the competition. Her video will be sent to the Coïmbra group, which will select the winners for its international final.
Congratulations to Emmanuelle for this remarkable performance!
Julie was invited to give a talk in the 8th CiNet Conference in Osaka, Japan (March 7 ‒ 9, 2023) Beyond Motor Control: Bridging the gap between action and perception. The goal of the 8th CiNet Conference is to bring together cognitive and systems neuroscientists who study motor control, perception, and decision-making to share and discuss the latest findings and future directions, with the aim of bridging the gap between research on motor control and perception/decision-making.
Very happy to present our work at this great conference chaired by Nobuhiro Hagura!
