New PhD in LaMA team ! 

Sinchana VAASANTHI is beginning her PhD as an international NeuroSchool student at Aix-Marseille Université, under the joint supervision of Marieke LONGCAMP (LaMA team) and Fabrice SARLEGNA (DynamiCC team, ISM).

Her doctoral project investigates the respective roles of somatosensory and visual information in handwriting in patients with sensory neuropathy, a rare condition characterised by the loss of touch and proprioception. She aims to build a theoretical and neurocomputational model of how somatosensory loss affects graphomotor coordination.
