Thèmes de recherche
I investigate how sensorimotor synchronization and interactive coordination shape rhythmic processing and language. My research combines behavioral paradigms, electrophysiology, and immersive environments to examine how social interaction enhances neural entrainment and supports its transfer to linguistic processing. This work is conducted within the INTERACT project, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR-23-CE28-0018-01).
