Riccardo Barbieri

Riccardo Barbieri was a PhD student in the lab. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Bologna (2014) and his Master's degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Padova (2016). He joined the lab as a Master’s student, working on brain signals related to visuo-spatial attention. After graduation, he pursued a project on feature-continuous perceptual decisions, investigating how the human brain encodes visual information and transforms it into perceptual judgments. His work combined psychophysics, neuroimaging, and machine learning.
