Cognitive and neural bases of handwriting and typing in adults and children
- Neural correlates of handwriting (fMRI, kinematics)
- Interactions between linguistic processing and motor control in handwriting and typing (fMRI, EEG, behavior)
- Biscriptuality
- Functional brain changes during handwriting acquisition (fMRI and morphometry)
- Planning of keystrokes in word typing (behavior, EEG)
My previous work dealt with the contribution of handwriting knowledge to visual recognition of single characters. I compared training via typing vs handwriting in children or in adults who were learning a new alphabet. I also did some studies on visual perception of handwritten characters.
My current work focuses on the cognitive and neural bases of handwriting and typing in adults and children. I study the neural correlates of handwriting using fMRI and EEG coupled with kinematics data acquired on a digitizing tablet, in monoscriptuals and biscriptuals (experts in two different scripts). I am also interested in functional brain changes during handwriting acquisition (behavior, fMRI and morphometry). I study the interactions between linguistic processing and motor control in handwriting and typing using fMRI, EEG and behavior, and motor processes involved in the planning of keystrokes in word typing (behavior, EEG).
