I am a second-year PhD student at the Clinical and Affective Neuroscience Lab. My background is in Physics and Neuroimaging. My main research interest is to better understand emotional processes in health and disease. Currently, my research focuses on investigating temporal and structural bases of acceptance and reappraisal using neuroimaging techniques such as MRI and EEG.

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Trento and with the MoDiS lab at the Bruno Kessler Foundation (https://modis.fbk.eu/).

I am interested in video games, serious games and gamified solutions. I am currently developing a holistic approach for the design, development, and further evaluation of gamified solutions, with a particular interest in personalization according to contextual factors (such as domain, target user and aim).

Alberto is a second year PhD student at the University of Trento. His research interests are mainly related to strategic human resources management. His PhD project is on the field of industrial/organizational psychology, and in particular on hiring decisions, studying the relations between biographical information (biodata), personality traits and performance assessment.

Micol is a second-year PhD student and works in the ODFLab at the University of Trento. Her main research interests are neuroscience, affective neuroscience, and developmental psychology. Her current research is focused on the cognitive and neural bases of caregiving. She is particularly interested in disentangling the role of biological (i.e. parents’ sex) and contextual factors (i.e. caregiving involvement, childcare experience) in elaborating infant cues. In her research, she combines brain imaging techniques, cognitive methods, and self-reports or other measures of interactive experiences.

Diletta is a second year PhD student in Cognitive Science and a research fellow for the PRIN 2017 project "Constructions of parenting on insecure grounds. What role for social work". She has a Master's degree in Planning and Management of Educational Services (Bologna University), and a Master's degree in Social Service and Social Policies (Trento University). Her main research topics concern leaving care and care-experienced parenting, analysed with participatory approaches. She has worked as a project manager in the field of child protection systems, with a focus on participation and advocacy.

I am currently a second year PhD student at DiPSCo. My work is focused on the investigation of non ordinary states of consciousness from a neurophenomenological and behavioral perspective. My ongoing projects concern the investigation of the neurofunctional correlates of breathing techniques, the phenomenological and physiological comparison between hypnosis and meditative practices, and the effects of the use of virtual reality on creativity and divergent thinking.

I am a 2^nd year PhD student in Cognitive Science, doing research within the field of Linguistics. I am particularly interested in experimental pragmatics, which is the study of non-literal meaning through experimental, quantitative methods. I also wish to gain a better understanding of the acquisition of pragmatic abilities during typical development. My PhD project focuses on conversational implicatures, their derivation and their processing in both adults and children.

Transfer of cognitive abilities following practice has been widely described with regard to Working Memory tasks, whereas little has been said about cognitive control tasks. The goal of my PhD project is to explore how people adapt their control processes on the basis of tasks’ demands and to investigate whether these control adaptation strategies can be transferred from a trained task to a novel and untrained task. Besides that, I'm also interested in gamification (when applied to cognitive assessment and training) and computational modeling in cognitive psychology. Currently I'm a second year PhD student at the University of Trento.
