Research Interest (click here to see my research themes)

My research interests focus on the psychological and neural processes underlying :

i) normal and abnormal functioning of social interactions, empathy and personality;
ii) neural basis of corporeal awareness in healthy and brain damaged patients ;
iii) sensorimotor processing in expert brains including elite athletes and musicians;
iv) voluntary action and bodily sensations in healthy humans and brain damaged patients

Lab Organization: My research is presently conducted in collaboration with 6 post-doctoral fellows, 13 PhD students, and 1 in-training clinical neuropsychologist. International collaborations.

My research is carried out by means of several techniques, including trancranial magnetic stimulation, somatosensory evoked potentials, laser evoked potentials, eye tracking recording, magnetoencephalography and fMRI.
