Research Director at the institute Paul Bocuse<br />

About Agnès Giboreau<br />

Agnès Giboreau is head manager of research at the Institut<br />

Paul Bocuse. She has a PhD in Food Science and an MSc in<br />

Cognitive Psychology. She instructs research supervision in<br />

Neurosciences and Cognition at the University of Lyon.<br />

Her research activity aims at better understanding the pleasure<br />

of eating and its relation to health from both perceptual<br />

and behavioural perspectives. Projects focus on the meal<br />

experience in a multidisciplinary approach and rely on studies<br />

conducted in real situations. This is done <strong>through</strong> the unique<br />

facilities of the experimental restaurant, a Living Lab (labelled<br />

Enoll) where professional experts work together with scientists,<br />

contributing to food design and production as well as<br />

table design and service. The results are published in peerreviewed<br />

journals and conferences, and are communicated<br />

to the food service and hospitality sectors by training future<br />

professionals as well as specific cooperative programs.<br />
