I study how neuromodulators shape the rhythms of the brain, and how those rhythms support attention in health and disease.

Typical adult alpha
A simulated posterior EEG trace. Drag the slider to the left to slow the alpha rhythm. Individual alpha frequency varies between people and shifts with cholinergic tone, one of the questions at the heart of my work.
About
I am an Associate Professor in Neuroscience at the University of Lille and a member of the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition centre (LilNCog, Inserm UMR-S 1172). I hold a PhD in Neuroscience and a Habilitation (HDR) in Pharmacology.
My research sits at the crossroads of neuropharmacology, electrophysiology and cognitive neuroscience. I investigate how neuromodulatory systems, acetylcholine in particular, shape brain oscillations and attention, and how these mechanisms can be measured, modulated and restored. My work combines pharmacological challenge studies, EEG signal analysis and clinical cohorts.
I have authored more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, including articles in Movement Disorders, Journal of Neurology and Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience.
