Occupational Therapist, her research focuses on sensorymotor functions and pain in a variety of clinical populations in rehabilitation (cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, stroke, amputation, chronic pain, etc.). Her laboratory works on the development of rehabilitation interventions and on the underestanding of underlying neurophysiological mechanisms to help technologies such as non-invalise brain stimulation, electrophysiology, virtual reality and robotics.

Marie Grandisson is an occupational therapist. Her research interests focus on the development of communities that are more conducive to the participation of children with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorders. She is particularly interested in occupational therapy practices that support children and the key players in their daily lives, with a view to strengthening the capacities of family, educational or leisure environments.

Occupational Therapist, her research focuses on manual functions in individuals with movement disorders in order to optimize rehabilitation interventions aimed at upper limbs in children and teenagers with neurological deficits, as well as in adults with muskuloskeletal problems. She is also interested in better understanding the neurophysiological mechanisms related to movement control and in the development of new assistive technologies facilitating the performance of activities of daily living in a more autonomous way.
