Océane Lauret obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Western Brittany (Brest, France) in 2022. During her final year, she completed a research internship at the European Center for Virtual Reality (CERV), where she studied the impact of joint action on individual actions in virtual reality.

She then pursued a Master’s degree in Fundamental and Applied Cognitive Psychology at Université Paris Descartes, which she completed in 2024. During her first year (Master 1), she carried out two research internships: the first at the Memory, Brain & Cognition Laboratory (PI: Pascale Piolino), investigating the effect of self-reference on episodic memory using virtual reality tools; and the second at Smarteo, an educational robotics startup, where she authored a white paper on the challenges of Education 2.0. In her second year (Master 2), she joined L’Oréal Research & Innovation for an applied internship, exploring the relationship between emotional intensity and memorability through physiological measures (GSR).

Alongside her academic path, Océane Lauret served as project leader for the organization of the first edition of the BrainPlay scientific forum, an event dedicated to the interactions between play and cognitive sciences, held at Université Paris Sorbonne in June 2023. This project, carried out within the student association Cogitergo, involved coordinating a team of 26 students under her supervision.

Since June 2025, she has been working as a doctoral assistant at the Experimental Social Cognition Laboratory (ESClab, PI: Nicolas Burra) at the University of Geneva, where she contributes to research projects on gaze perception and social interactions, and teaches practical courses in experimental methodology as well as a class in social cognition.
