I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Neuroscience at the University of Geneva. As part of the MemStim team of Dr. Lucie Bréchet, I am investigating the brain regions involved in autobiographical memory in patients with mild cognitive impairment by analyzing resting-state and task-based high-density EEG data to better understand the underlying neural mechanisms. This work is part of a broader study exploring the therapeutic potential of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), in line with emerging approaches in neurostimulation and cognitive rehabilitation.
I hold a MSc in Research Psychology with a specialization in Cognition and Neuroscience from Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). My academic journey reflects a strong interest in the neural mechanisms underlying memory, sleep, multisensory integration, and neuroplasticity. During my master's thesis at the Center for Research in Cognition and Neurosciences (CRCN), I investigated the role of sleep in memory consolidation, specifically how prior knowledge influences the consolidation of newly learned associations.
