Raphaëlle holds a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from Aix-Marseille University and the University of Montreal. During her stay in Montreal, she worked as a research coordinator in a lab specialized in dream research, focusing on lucid dream induction and its links to sleep health.

In her PhD, co-supervised by Jean-Baptiste Eichenlaub and Nathan Faivre, she investigates the behavioral markers and neural substrates of metacognition during sleep, by exploring variations in dream lucidity. Her work combines behavioral approaches and stereotactic electroencephalography.
