Current research summary

My current research interest is about understanding the effect of motor control laws and individual capabilities (individual motor signatures) on perceptual parameters (action observation effect, associated sensorimotor neural plasticity and sensorimotor performances). In particular, I’m building a tool to help at the different levels of motor prevention (from primary prevention to motor rehabilitation) based on action observation. I first explore motor control theories in particular the large inter subject variability present in whole body daily life movements (individual motor signatures). I then use these data to create and test different action observation protocols on young healthy subjects, old healthy subjects and patients.
