I am a cognitive neuropsychologist, with a neurological background, interested in studying the relationship between the mind and the brain using behavioural and functional imaging (fMRI/PET) techniques.
My main areas of research are reading and dyslexia, cross-cultural differences in reading, motor control and awareness, spatial neglect, body representation and aging. Brain plasticity in peripheral motor impairment.
