Welcome to the DysCo lab website!

                                           

The DysCo lab was born in January 2020.Our research projects are currently structured around two axes. We have named them to highlight the contribution of our work to society: ‘Cognitive health: executive and memory processes’, ‘Quality of human interactions: language and socio-emotional processes’. Each of these axis has a developmental dimension (from babies to the elderly) and a translational dimension (application in the field of health). Our approach adopts a lifespan perspective with strong neuropsychological and differential concerns. In addition to elucidating the cognitive functioning of individuals without disorders (i.e., children, young adults and the elderly), we address the characterization, rehabilitation or preservation of cognitive processes in a wide range of pathologies and brain dysfunctions (i.e., neuro-degenerative diseases, cerebrovascular accidents and associated disorders, neuro-developmental disorders). We develop the fundamental knowledge required to create, use or improve tools that promote cognitive functioning or diagnose dysfunctioning. Our lab also defends values of transparency, collegiality and cooperation between members.
  • Axis  ‘Cognitive health: executive and memory processes’
This axis includes research in the field of cognitive dysfunction (neurological, neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental pathologies, polyhandicap) and aims to understand how executive and memory functions are affected and how they can be improved through remediation to improve patients' cognitive health.
  • Axis ‘Quality of human interactions: language and socio-emotional processes’
This axis includes projects aimed at improving fundamental knowledge of the cognitive activities involved in verbal and non-verbal interactions, both in healthy populations and those with disorders (head injuries, neurodevelopmental and learning disorders). This area also includes an application focus through the creation of new neuropsychological assessment tools.
