I mainly study how the brain represents our body in healthy and pathological populations and the contribution of multisensory integration that allows us to maintain a coherent sense of the Self.
Attention represents another topic of interest. It may also be guided by rich memory representations of previous experience, which can exert robust influence on perception in a prospective and proactive manner. The memory-based orienting of attention represents one of my research areas. I am currently investigating this mechanism in healthy individuals and its breakdown in brain-damaged patients.
The interplay between neuroscience and law has always attracted my interest, and specifically, I study how behavioral neuroscience can contribute in the forensic field.
