معرفی
Thomas Jacquet is a postdoctoral researcher at the Université de Bourgogne, affiliated with INSERM U1093 and the Institut Marey. He holds a PhD in STAPS (Sports Science) from the same university (2017-2021), focusing on mental fatigue's electrophysiological markers and compensation strategies under Prof. Bénédicte Poulin-Charronnat. His research combines neuroscience, motor control, and electroencephalography (EEG) to explore mental fatigue's impact on physical and cognitive performance. He previously served as an Attaché Temporaire d’Enseignement et de Recherche (ATER) in Dijon (2020-2021), teaching physiology, neuroscience, and research methodologies at undergraduate and graduate levels in STAPS programs.
His work spans topics like mental fatigue mitigation through physical activity/music, smartphone-induced cognitive impairments, and neural mechanisms of motor imagery. Major findings include EEG-based markers of mental fatigue and the role of motor cortex activity in effort perception. His postdoctoral research (ANR Mentalist project under Prof. Romuald Lepers) continues exploring fatigue's electrophysiological underpinnings and recovery strategies. Jacquet's lab collaborations include INSERM and the Institut Marey, focusing on translational research in sports science and neurophysiology.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, linking neuroscience with clinical and applied contexts. Key areas include: (1) EEG correlates of mental fatigue and motor performance, (2) acute smartphone use's cognitive impacts, and (3) efficacy of music/physical activity in fatigue countermeasures. His work bridges basic research with real-world applications in sports, healthcare, and technology design.
Current projects emphasize automated vehicle safety for disabled users and long-term mental fatigue effects. He collaborates internationally, with recent papers in PLoS One, Neuropsychologia, and Frontiers in Psychology. Teaching responsibilities include L1-L3 neuroscience, biostatistics, and research instrumentation in STAPS programs.
