Research Interests span sensorimotor integration, biological motion perception, and the interplay between action observation and language processing. Her work explores how motor experiences shape cognitive functions, particularly in aging and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), using point-light displays and kinematic analysis.
Recent Publications highlight the role of kinematic observation in memory performance (2025), motor rehabilitation applications (2024), and developmental studies on action-language links (2022). She co-developed the PLAViMoP database for standardized point-light display research (2022).
Supervision includes PhD students Sophie-Anne Beauprez (2015-2018), Aurélie Benchekri (2020), Evan Launay (2020), and Victor Francisco (2021), focusing on autism-related motor disorders, rehabilitation techniques, and embodied cognition.
Academic Leadership includes directing the EXSECO team (2018-2022), managing CeRCA’s embodied cognition group (2013-2021), and coordinating Master’s programs in Rehabilitation Engineering (2015-2021).
