Most of our research uses fMRI to study the neural mechanisms underlying visual perception and attention. One major focus is on how the brain encodes socially relevant stimuli, such as faces and bodies. Another focus is on the role of attention in the processing of objects in natural scenes.

The lab is part of the CIMeC, an interdisciplinary research institute studying the mind and the brain, located in Rovereto, Italy.
