Notices

Note for students willing to compete for access to the Graduate School in Psychological Science.

I am keen to supervise the research work of PhD candidates whose interest spans the domain of visual attention and visual working memory in the human adult brain. I am also interested in the causes of the attentional blink phenomenon. Using EEG, fNIRS, and fMRI -- all techniques my collaborators and I often employ in our studies -- I tend to focus on the neural correlates and localization indices of the processing taking place during visual search, change detection, and rapid serial visual presentation paradigms.

The full list of scientific articles I published in this domain and related fields of investigation (downlodable pdfs) can be found at:
http://colab.psy.unipd.it.
