My research interests center around the neurobiology of emotion processing. I studied Cognitive Sciences and Neurosciences in Lille (France) and I completed my PhD in December 2008 at University of Lille 2. My work with Prof. Sarah Lippé from 2015 to 2017 involved several projects, particulary the investiation of how stress impacts neuropsychological development using behavioral and cerebral measures (electro- and magneto-encephalography, EEG, MEG) in leukemia survivors (see e.g. Rigoulot et al., 2017). Two more articles are crrently in preparation and will be submitted in 2018.
