معرفی
Cécile Scotto is a researcher affiliated with the University of Poitiers, specifically within the Cognition and Learning Research Center (CeRCA) under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Her work focuses on sensorimotor control, motor learning, and multisensory integration, with applications in human-machine interactions and ergonomic design. She holds an HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in cognitive sciences.
Her research explores topics such as the impact of visual and proprioceptive feedback on motor learning, the effects of environmental factors like temperature on sensorimotor performance, and perceptual biases arising from cross-modal interactions (e.g., visual-tactile). She collaborates with industries to develop reproducible evaluation scenarios for human-robot interfaces and industrial maintenance systems.
Key contributions include studies on motor adaptation in deafferented patients, the role of gravity in spatial orientation, and the neural mechanisms underlying tool-use anticipation. Her publications frequently address interdisciplinary themes spanning neuroscience, ergonomics, and robotics.
Teaching activities include courses on Psychology of Movement, Sensory Deficits, and Motor Control at undergraduate and graduate levels. While no formal awards are listed, her extensive publication record reflects sustained research excellence across over a decade.
Labs/Teams: Active member of CeRCA, collaborating with institutions like the Institute of Psychology and Neuroscience of Lyon (UMR 5229), and industry partners in robotics and human factors engineering.
