I am a Researcher in Cognitive Sciences at the Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council of Rome (ISTC-CNR). My scientific interests are placed within the fields of Cognitive and Developmental Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, and Computational Psychiatry. Specifically:
• predictive brain, emotion, and interoceptive inference;
• sensorimotor influences on (abstract and emotional) concepts acquisition and representation;
• biological and cognitive factors involved in visual word recognition.
