Manon first completed a bachelor’s degree in Literature, then a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Computer Science Applied to Humanities and Social Sciences (MIASHS) with a major in cognitive sciences. She then continued her studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Cognitique (ENSC) engineering school, where she specialized in the use of technology in the field of health and disability. Since December 2025, she has been working with the Potioc team at the Inria Center in Bordeaux on her VBHI-funded thesis. Her research focuses on the use of electroencephalography (EEG) for the characterization and treatment of cerebral small vessel disease. The first objective is to identify EEG neuromarkers characteristic of the cognitive symptoms of the disease, in particular using data from the SHIVA-CogNeurophys study. The next step will be to study the possibility of patients modulating these neuromarkers using a brain-computer interface that provides them with live feedback on their brain activity (neurofeedback). The goal is to develop innovative, low-cost, non-drug therapies to reduce the cognitive impairment associated with this disease.
Manon loves spending hours doing puzzles and recently discovered that her skills at pétanque are inversely proportional to those at foosball.
