Nesrine Hazem

 

 

I started my PHD studies in 2014. My work investigates the impact of social contact on cognitive processes, especially interoceptive awareness, that is, the awareness of the afferent information that arises from within the body. After examining social contact in the visual modality, as established by eye contact, I am currently developing protocols to study social contact in tactile and auditory modalities.  For this purpose, I use behavioral measures and recording of physiological responses (skin conductance response, electromyography, heart rate). I also investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social contact effects using electroencephalography (with time-frequency analysis and source localization).
