Laboratory

Summary

The Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience (Bertarelli Chair in Cognitive Neuroprosthetics) at EPFL, led by Olaf Blanke, focuses on studying brain mechanisms related to body perception, awareness, and self-consciousness. Their research spans from investigating multisensory brain mechanisms of body perception to developing cognitive neuroprostheses for clinical applications. The lab pioneers the use of digital technologies like virtual and augmented reality, robotics, and haptics in neuroscience research, aiming to understand the neural basis of self-consciousness. Their work has garnered international attention, including a feature in The New York Times and funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation.

As a clinical neuropsychologist, I appreciate working with clinical populations, as I constantly learn a lot from the patients, enriching my knowledge not only on the illness but also on clinical and research practice. I graduated from the University of Strasbourg (France), and obtained a Master's degree in clinical neuropsychology in 2005 from the University of Caen Basse-Normandie (France). I integrated the Psychiatry Department of the University Hospitals of Strasbourg as a neuropsychologist and pursued both clinical and research work on schizophrenia (INSERM unit). I investigated autobiographical memory impairment and self disorders in patients with schizophrenia, and obtained a Ph.D. in neuroscience (University of Strasbourg) in 2014. I joined the Blanke Lab (LNCO) as scientific collaborator in 2016.
