Our group uses TMS to study different issues in social cognitive neuroscience. The general purpose is to deepen the understanding of mechanisms such as empathy for pain, somatotopic simulative-like motor mechanism in action and emotion observation, reflexive social attentional processes, visual perception of body image, language neural representation and motor imagery processes. Findings in these domains may have impact on the design of TMS-based protocols for the treatment of body and motor-related disorders. Some of these lines of research are developed also in people with Autism Spectrum Syndromes. To study these issues, TMS is applied in the laboratories with different procedures: single-pulse stimulation, paired-pulse stimulation, image-guided repetitive off-line stimulation, image-guided repetitive on-line interference approach. Our group has two different TMS labs one at the Department of Psychology, University of Rome “La Sapienza”, and another at the IRCCS Fondazione Santa Lucia.
