Perception des molécules chimiosensorielles en mélange : impact du métabolisme périphérique
2015
The chemosensory system is highly sensitive and discriminant. To ensure these properties, rapid and effective mechanisms are necessary to eliminate chemosensory molecules reaching the perception interface. The xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) present in the peri-receptor space may participate to the clearance of molecules thus limiting chemosensory receptors saturation and promoting the termination of the signal. In our PhD thesis, the involvement of these enzymes in the detection of stimuli in mixture was assessed in two animal models allowing to test complementary aspects. In Drosophila melanogaster, a sensory exposure to caffeine causes a reversible alteration of the taste percepti…

"Having a drink in a bar": An immersive approach to explore the effects of context on drink choice
2013
UT: 000315557500004; International audience; This paper aims to evaluate the effect of context on food choices. Two studies are presented to test the potential of an immersive approach to help understanding contextual influences on drink choices. To generate contextual effects, two bar-like environments based on the idea of "having a drink in a bar" were created: one with wood furniture and one with blue furniture. In both immersive bars, clips with visual and music stimuli were projected on a wall to change the overall warmth of the ambience. In the first study, five different clips were projected. Participants in the immersive bars had to choose a drink within a large range of drinks for …
The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale: An Evaluation of Factor Structure and Convergent Validity.
2018
The Australian Sheep-Goat Scale (ASGS) is a commonly used measure of belief in the paranormal. The scale contains items that index extrasensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), and life after death (LAD). Although, research employs the ASGS as both a general (unidimensional) and factorial (multidimensional) measure, few studies have examined the appropriateness of these solutions. Accordingly, the present paper tested the psychometric integrity of the ASGS via two studies. Study 1 assessed ASGS factorial structure using confirmatory factor analysis. To achieve this, merging of ASGS data from previously published studies and ongoing work created a heterogeneous sample of 1,601 responses…
Influencia de la percepción multisensorial en la experiencia, satisfacción y felicidad del consumidor de música en vivo. Efecto moderador de la disca…
2023
La presente tesis doctoral se centra, a lo largo de cinco capítulos, en analizar la relación de la percepción multisensorial y la experiencia del consumidor en el contexto de la música en vivo. Además, estudia el efecto de esta última en la satisfacción, la felicidad subjetiva y la intención de compra, para personas con y sin discapacidad. El primer capítulo describe, por una parte, el contexto de la música y, por otra, aborda cuestiones relativas a la discapacidad de los consumidores. En el segundo capítulo se afronta la revisión de la literatura sobre: percepción multisensorial y experiencia de consumo. El tercer capítulo presenta en primera instancia el objetivo general y los objetivos e…

Might as well jump: Sound affects muscle activation in skateboarding
2014
The aim of the study is to reveal the role of sound in action anticipation and performance, and to test whether the level of precision in action planning and execution is related to the level of sensorimotor skills and experience that listeners possess about a specific action. Individuals ranging from 18 to 75 years of age - some of them without any skills in skateboarding and others experts in this sport - were compared in their ability to anticipate and simulate a skateboarding jump by listening to the sound it produces. Only skaters were able to modulate the forces underfoot and to apply muscle synergies that closely resembled the ones that a skater would use if actually jumping on a ska…
Effects of training on postural control and agility when wearing socks of different compression levels
2017
Summary Study aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training while wearing socks differing in compression level (clinical, sub-clinical, regular) on performance of static and dynamic balancing and agility tasks in healthy, physically active people. We sought to understand whether socks with different compression properties supported postural regulation and agility task performance by enhancing somatosensory perception, unskewed by specific age range effects. Material and methods: Participants comprised 61 adults aged 18-75 years, divided into three groups (two experimental groups wearing clinical or sub-clinical level compression socks, and one control group wearing regu…
