I am a cognitive neuropsychologist, with a neurological background, interested in studying the relationship between the mind and the brain using behavioural, structural (CT & MRI) and functional imaging (fMRI/PET) techniques.
My main areas of research are motor control, awareness and rehabilitation through cognitive strategies, body representation and aging.
I have also been active in studying reading and dyslexia, cross-cultural differences in reading,
