I am a cognitive psychologist studying action, goal-directed control, and decision-making. I hold a senior research position (Directeur de Recherche, CNRS) at the Institut Jean Nicod (ENS-PSL) in Paris.

My research focuses on:

-   Action control (cognitive and motor control)

-   Action prediction (mindreading, simulation, causal inference)

-   Action experience (agency, sense of causation, moral and legal responsibility) 

-   Intrinsic motivation, active learning, human-AI interactions.

-   Behavioural modelling, psychopathology, fMRI and TMS.

Together with Edgar Dubourg, I develop tools for collecting behavioural data, from gamified surveys to full-fledged video games. To explore our games or learn how we can help you develop one for your own research, visit our website.
