Françoise Jamen is a Lecturer at the Faculty of Sports Sciences, University of Paris-Saclay, affiliated with CIAMS (Centre de Recherche en Ingénierie des Activités Physiques et Sportives). She holds office number 117 in Building 335 at the Pierre de Coubertin campus in Bures-sur-Yvette.
Originally trained as a biologist at NeuroPSI (Institute of Neuroscience and Cognition) at the same university, she worked for 14 years in biological research before shifting her focus in 2018 to meditation studies. Her research centers on evaluating mindfulness meditation effects through multidisciplinary approaches combining physiological measurements with first-person experiential analysis.
- Specializes in mindfulness meditation and yoga effects on stress response and alexithymia
- Investigates links between meditation practice and lifestyle factors
- Studies interoception and decision-making through longitudinal programs (FOVEA and KORSA)
- Uses micro-phenomenology interviews for detailed analysis of lived experience
Her work is integrated with teaching activities conducted with Hugues Mounier (Professor at L2S) and forms part of the university-wide Medit@ UPSaclay research and education project on Science and Meditation. She collaborates with Nicolas Bassan from Open Mind Neurotechnologies on neurotechnological aspects of mindfulness research.
Jamen serves as a research contributor to doctoral projects, notably participating in Sasima Pakulanon's PhD work supervised by Christine Le Scanff, which examined mind-body techniques' effects on stress reactivity. Her laboratory work connects biological expertise with contemporary meditation science through the Medit@ UPSaclay initiative.
