📢 New Publication 📢

Effort differentially shapes behavior before, during & after an action. w/ @bcheval.bsky.social, Silvio & Florent, we explore stage-specific effects of physical effort & how these dynamically modulate each other.

Now out in Trends in Cognitive Sciences 🤩🤩

Curious? ⬇️

New pre-print out!

🔬In this article, we explain why our clinical trial to improve the automatic tendency to approach PA failed and offer recommendations to help future studies maximise patient acceptability.

How to move more and reduce sedentary behavior in daily life? 💡

Since September, during my teleworking days, I’ve covered 720 km (the equivalent of over 17 marathons), taken 1.2 million steps, and burned 50,000 Kcal — all during my working hours!
