My first research experience was focused on the development of mathematical cognition in infants at Padova University, adopting both Eye-tracking and fNIRS techniques. Then I worked in the field of Social Neuroscience at Vienna university, investigating the functioning of the reward system in ASD using the fMRI. During the Covid-19 pandemic, I worked on an Ecological momentary assessment study on the relationship between social interactions, reward consumption, and psychological wellbeing.
My current research project aims to understand how a shared sense of ownership or agency can modulate the tendencies to act honestly/dishonestly in group dynamics. Behavioral studies will be integrated with EEG measures, for a better understanding of the neural correlates of moral actions.
