Julie Fournier

Julie Fournier is a Post-doctoral researcher at the University of Rennes since October 2024, supervised by Claire Cury, focusing on attention engagement in neurofeedback via eye-tracking and skin conductance.

Her educational qualifications are:

• PhD (2021-2024): Studying visual behavior of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in the presence of Affinity, at Univ Rennes, INSA Rennes, IETR
• Engineering degree (2015-2020) from ESIR

Fournier's research investigates Autism Spectrum Disorders, visual attention, and the role of personal interests and affinity in visual engagement. Using eye-tracking and physiological measures, her work aims to improve neurofeedback interventions for individuals with ASD, contributing to cognitive science and clinical psychology.

Her recent publications at EUVIP 2022 and CBMI 2023 examine how personal interests affect visual attention and the impact of affinity on ASD visual engagement. These studies, employing eye-tracking methodologies, advance understanding in autism research and human-computer interaction, emphasizing individualized approaches.

She is a member of the Empenn research team at the University of Rennes, which specializes in medical image analysis and neuroimaging, supporting her work in neurofeedback and physiological signal processing.
