ATTIVITA’ ED INTERESSI DI RICERCA SCIENTIFICA
La mia attività di ricerca si focalizza sullo studio dei meccanismi coinvolti in processi cognitivi quali il linguaggio, la lettura e l’attenzione. Utilizzo un approccio sperimentale che tenta di integrare metodologie diverse quali la neuropsicologia, la psicofisica e la registrazione dei movimenti oculari. I miei studi riguardano popolazioni sane, ma anche individui con patologie neuropsicologiche quali la negligenza spaziale unilaterale, sindromi neurodegenerative come le demenze tipiche ed atipiche e persone con sindrome genetiche rare. Ho molte collaborazioni nazionali (Università La Sapienza, Università Bicocca, CNR) ed internazionali (UCL, NYU).
