Pauline Favre

Research

My research investigates the cognitive and brain mechanisms underlying mood and emotion dysregulation, with a focus on bipolar disorder and psychotrauma. I combine behavioural approaches, large-scale multimodal neuroimaging, and precision MRI at 3T and 7T to identify biomarkers and understand individual differences. My work also examines how psychotherapies, mental training, and real-time fMRI neurofeedback can modulate brain function and support therapeutic interventions.

I am currently co-head of the INPULSE lab — Imaging Neuroscience and Neuromodulation in Psychiatry (INSERM/CEA NeuroSpin) focusing on translational psychiatry and brain imaging, and member of the board of FIND (AFPBN) — the neuroimaging section of the French Association for Biological Psychiatry & Neuropsychopharmacology. I am also member of the ENIGMA-Bipolar Disorder Working Group.
