THESIS DEFENSE of Alix BOUNI - December 12, 2025

Alix BOUNI will defend her thesis on December 12, 2025 at 2:00 pm in the amphitheater O108 (ENSC), on the subject: “Integration of biosignals in cyber-physical systems to assess the cognitive state of a user: contribution of neurovisceral and cognitivo-motor dynamics”.

This thesis focuses on detecting variations in cognitive state in demanding professional situations using non-invasive physiological measurements. It proposes a systemic approach combining the analysis of motor and cardiac dynamics, made possible by the development of a multimodal cyberphysical system (CPS). Three experimental protocols identified relevant indicators for monitoring cognitive state: during a task of increasing difficulty, after a heart coherence session, and under typical working conditions. The results highlight the sensitivity of multifractality and non-linearity indices of movement, as well as cardiac markers in the frequency domain, to assess variations in cognitive state. Finally, the real-time integration of cardiac analyses within the CPS paves the way for physiological feedback that can improve comfort, safety, and performance in real-world situations.

Datalogger developed by CATIE during the thesis, allowing the synchronization of 4 different sensors as well as the visualization, recording and processing of data from these sensors (here an ECG).
