I graduated with a master’s in psychology from the University of York, where I explored the perception of the intent behind actions among individuals across the Autism Spectrum. I then graduated from Sapienza University of Rome with a master’s in Cognitive Neuroscience, where I defended my thesis on the heterogeneity of the human retrosplenial cortex and its functional connectivity. Through my research internship I worked on interoception and how it varies among individuals at risk of hypertension. As a PhD student in Psychology and Social Neuroscience, I aim to deepen my understanding of interoception in healthy as well as clinical populations using various psychophysiological measures and immersive virtual reality.
