from an article published in the journal NEZ
PhD. student in cognitive and experimental psychology at the University of Côte d'Azur (Nice) in the LAPCOS laboratory, she is preparing a thesis:
"Studies of the influences of music listening and odorants on the executive performance of young and older adults: towards a personalized approach to multisensory environments" which aims to enable the understanding of the influence of music and odorants on the executive functions of young and older adults.
She studies the olfactory environment and the influence of odorants during a task that requires concentration efforts and that would mobilize our skills during a few minutes.
She also study the links between odors and places and uses, focusing on the habits of practice in libraries. (Lapcos, participatory study)
What characterizes this research is undoubtedly the fact of linking smell and music, hearing and olfaction and thus developing a "method in cognitive psychology allowing to study the influence of the latter on the executive functions of young and old adults, under the co-direction of Xavier Corveleyn and Dirk Steiner, but also with the help of collaborators from other disciplines, chemists and physicists, such as Martine Adrian-Scotto and Serge Antonczak."
