Our research is mainly devoted to investigate neural learning mechanisms. Through different neuroimaging and behavioral techniques, we study how to improve brain plasticity, memory and attentional allocation.

Hard science, gentle touch

Our approach is characterized by the employment of strict methodological practices, based on rigorous statistical analyses and data replicability. Our commitment is towards open science. We make our data accessible on public repositories, to promote findings’ publicity and replicability. At the same time, we want our science to be respectful and polite. This is why we try to improve brain plasticity and learning mechanisms working on individual intrinsic motivation and by exploiting beauty and games.

From the lab to the society  

Even though it does not always work, as people, we are committed to do useful things. We know that important scientific progresses come from basic research, still we try to keep an eye on the bigger picture. For this reason, we are involved in different clinical projects and in public engagement activities.
