Bio:
Marie Simonet is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Cognitive Sciences at ETH Zürich. Her research interests encompass cognitive psychology, motor learning and control, decision-making, and spatial cognition. Marie combines advanced electrical neuroimaging techniques and psychomotor behavioral paradigms to investigate the neural adaptations in both healthy individuals and athletes after undergoing cognitive training or engaging in sports practice. With a PhD in Neuroscience and a Master’s degree in Sports Sciences, Marie brings a distinctive interdisciplinary perspective to her work.
Research interests:
Cognitive training, Spatial cognition, Motor Control, Exercise, Brain, EEG, Virtual Reality
