La mia ricerca si è concentrata sullo studio dei sistemi percettivi e sull'integrazione sensorimotoria negli esseri umani, utilizzando tecniche di indagine basate sulla psicofisica, la neuroimaging (EEG e fMRI, anche a campo ultra-alto), registrazioni ad alta precisione dei movimenti oculari, modelli computazionali e attività pupillare. Ho approfondito diversi argomenti, tra cui il ruolo delle oscillazioni neurali nella comunicazione visuomotoria, il ruolo e i meccanismi di dipendenza seriale nella percezione e l'influenza di segnali extraretinici (compresi i segnali oculomotori) sulla percezione visiva.

Legenda
My research has focused on the study of perceptual systems and sensorimotor integration in humans, using investigation techniques based on psychophysics, neuroimaging (EEG and fMRI, including ultra-high field), high precision eye movement recordings, computational modeling, and pupillary activity. I have delved into various topics, including the pivotal role of neural oscillations in facilitating visuomotor communication, the role and mechanisms of serial dependence in perception, and the influence of predictive signals (including extraretinal oculomotor signals) on shaping perception and sensation.
