My main research interests revolve around the study of the neural bases of action perception and motor control.I received an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Psychology and Psychobiology and a master degree in Neuroscience and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, both at the University of Padua. I
My interest in the study of the developing brain and how the basis for efficient cognitive functioning throughout the life cycle is laid in these early stages, dates back to my Ph.D. in Psychological Science. My research has focused on the neurobiological basis of emerging cognitive functions, both
My main research interests concern the use of models for predicting behavioral outcomes based on various types of data (behavioral, psychophysiological, or neuroimaging) for clinical or forensic applications. During my PhD and a research period at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience
