Overview

Jean Blouin is affiliated with Aix-Marseille University in France and is active in neuroscience research with a focus on cognitive neuroscience. Their work encompasses various subfields including social psychology, biomedical engineering, physical therapy, sports therapy and rehabilitation, and neurology.

The main topics addressed in Blouin's research cover motor control and adaptation, tactile and sensory interactions, action observation and synchronization, muscle activation and electromyography studies, visual perception and processing mechanisms, balance, gait and falls prevention, as well as multisensory perception and integration.

Among Blouin's recent publications are:

  • Large Postural Sways Prevent Foot Tactile Information From Fading: Neurophysiological Evidence, 2020, Cerebral Cortex Communications
  • Cortical facilitation of somatosensory inputs using gravity-related tactile information in humans with vestibular hypofunction, 2023, Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Double-Step Paradigm in Microgravity: Preservation of Sensorimotor Flexibility in Altered Gravitational Force Field, 2020, Frontiers in Physiology
  • Enhancing the Internal Representation of the Body Through Sensorimotor Training in Sports and Dance Improves Balance Control, 2020, Research & Investigations in Sports Medicine
  • Cortical facilitation of tactile afferents during the preparation of a body weight transfer when standing on a biomimetic surface, 2023, Frontiers in Neurology

Blouin frequently publishes in venues such as bioRxiv, Journal of Neurophysiology, Scientific Reports, Brain Sciences, and Cerebral Cortex Communications.

Collaborative work is a notable aspect of Blouin's research. Frequent co-authors include Laurence Mouchnino, Martin Simoneau, Marie Fabre, Chloé Sutter, and Francesco Massi.
