معرفی
Michel Audiffren is a Part-Time Lecturer at the University of Poitiers, affiliated with the CeRCA/MSHS (Cognition and Learning Research Center / Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société). His research focuses on the interplay between physical activity and cognitive processes, particularly in aging populations.
Research Domains
- Cognitive neuroscience
- Executive functions
- Mental fatigue and effort
- Psychophysiology
- Self-control mechanisms
Recent work explores mental fatigue's impact on motor performance, brain endurance training applications, and neurophysiological adaptations in athletes. Collaborative studies with international institutions examine genetic polymorphisms (e.g., BDNF Val66Met) and their interaction with exercise in cognitive aging.
He has supervised PhD candidates studying topics like:
- Genetic moderators of exercise-cognition relationships
- Neurohemodynamic correlates in aging
- Self-control in pain management
- Metacognition and physical activity
Key collaborations include institutions in France (University of Poitiers, CNRS), Switzerland (University of Geneva), South Korea (Seoul National University), and Israel (Wingate Institute).
