France

The Laboratory "Orientation, Attention and Executive Control" (Orientation, Attention et Fonctions Executives, OAFE) of the Medical School of the University of Caen – Basse Normandie is specialised in studying executive neurocognitive functioning, executive visual attention and spatial orientation in normal subjects and in patients with sleep or neuro-degenerative disorders.

For more than five years, our Laboratory has cooperated with the Institut National de Recherche sur les Transports et leur Sécurité (INRETS) on the effects of sleep deprivation and hypnotics on driving.

All the resources needed for the project are available in the OAFE Laboratory:

  • a Sleep Unit with seasoned sleep medicine physicians
  • a driving simulator
  • several batteries of neurocognitive tests
  • a biological and clinical pharmacology unit
