Research Interest

Nicolas Vuillerme develops and encourages an interdisciplinary educational and research program which involves: (1) a fundamental research in the fields of Psychology, Neurosciences and Biomechanics. The aim is to investigate the interactions between sensory-motor and cognitive mechanisms involved in the control of human perceptive, spatial, postural and motor behaviours and their changes as a results of normal aging, chronic diseases, pathologies and/or accidents. This work is based on human psychophysical, behavioural and neuroimaging experimental studies and data fusion modelling human behaviour. (2) an applied research dedicated to Technologies and Services for Ageing, Health and Autonomy in the field of Information Technology Engineering Sciences. The aim is to develop and validate physical and physiological multimodal, embedded and interactive sensors and actuators – designed for assessment of sensory, motor and cognitive capacities, continuous monitoring activity, ambulatory medical care, perceptual supplementation, cognitive and functional assistance in activities of daily living and occupational activities and to integrate these devices in a multimodal home automation environment.
