Professor of Human Movement Sciences
I am Professor at the Université Montpellier-1 and at the Institut Universitaire de France.
My teaching and research activities are carried out mostly here in Montpellier, but involve several collaborators in France, Europe, North America, and Asia.
Profile
How do we and other animals move? How do we stand, walk, run or jump?
How do we perceive information in the world and act accordingly? How is it possible that we can coordinate, often unconsciously, all elements that compose our body (neurons, segments, joints, tendons, muscles, etc..) and act efficiently?
My interest is in Movement. Movements that are directed toward a goal, whether the goal is an object to reach or a form to reproduce, and whether performance is mediated or not by modern technology, such as driving a car or using immersive virtual reality systems.
This site contains information about my research and teaching activities. Links to my colleagues around the world and PDF documents (articles, slides, teaching outlines) are also available.
