Le Handicap à Université Côte d’Azur : Une Politique innovante et inclusive, une Mission transverse
Car drivers coping with hazardous events in real versus simulated situations: Declarative, behavioral and physiological ...
More than 1.3 million people lose their lives every year in traffic accidents. Improving road safety requires designing better vehicles and investigating drivers' abilities more closely. Driving simulators are constantly being used for this purpose, but the question which often arises as to their validity tends to be a barrier to developments in th...
Reversals in Movement Direction in Locomotor Interception of Uniformly Moving Targets
Here we studied how participants steer to intercept uniformly moving targets in a virtual driving task. We tested the hypothesis that locomotor interception behavior cannot fully be explained by a strategy of nulling rate of change in pertinent agent-target relations such as the target-heading angle or target's bearing angle. In line with a previou...
Effects of the islamic headscarf on vocal arousal and intimacy: a field experiment in the Paris metro
In recent years physiological indexes of emotion have made their comeback as indicators of prejudice, but vocal measures have lagged behind. The aim of this study is to examine the vocal changes in arousal and intimacy that occur in real-life interactions with a woman who wears the Islamic headscarf or hijab. The study is based on a field experimen...
The dynamic modular fingerprints of the human brain at rest.
Published in NeuroImage
The human brain is a dynamic modular network that can be decomposed into a set of modules, and its activity changes continually over time. At rest, several brain networks, known as Resting-State Networks (RSNs), emerge and cross-communicate even at sub-second temporal scale. Here, we seek to decipher the fast reshaping in spontaneous brain modulari...
Early Exposure to Water Turbidity Affects Visual Capacities in Cuttlefish ( Sepia officinalis )
Published in Frontiers in Physiology
In La Manche (English Channel) the level of turbidity changes, not only seasonally and daily in seawater but also along the coast. As a consequence, vision in marine species is limited when based only on contrast-intensity. It is hypothesized that polarization sensitivity (PS) may help individuals detect preys and predators in turbid environments. ...
Brain activity reflects (chronic) welfare state: evidence from individual electroencephalography profiles in an animal m...
Assessing the animal welfare state is a challenge given the subjective individual cognitive and emotional processing involved. Electroencephalography (EEG) spectrum analysis has proved an ecologically valid recording situation to assess the link between brain processes and affective or cognitive states in humans: a higher slow wave/fast wave ratio ...
Facial displays in red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus): Repertoire, social context, and potential intentionality...
Primate communication relies strongly on the visual modality, notably through the production of a wide range of expressive facial signals. We investigated here the facial display repertoire of a relatively little-studied cercopithecid species, red-capped mangabeys (Cercocebus torquatus), and questioned whether their facial displays were dependent o...
REORGANIZATION OF FACE-RACE CATEGORIES IN INFANCY Reorganization in the Representation of Face-Race Categories From 6 to...
Prior research has reported developmental change in how infants represent categories of otherrace faces (Quinn, Lee, Pascalis, & Tanaka, 2016). In particular, Caucasian 6-month-olds were shown to represent African versus Asian face categories, whereas Caucasian 9 month-olds represented different classes of other-race faces together in one category,...
