My research concerns the understanding of spatial somatosensory characteristics, i.e., how tactile information arising from the skin is interpreted by the brain as being located in the external world.

In particular, my studies are focused on how movement and body representations are constructed and interact with tactile information. Further, I work on how sensory information influences motor behaviour, in healthy subjects but also in neurological and psychiatric pathologies. Technically, I use a combination of behavioural and neurophysiological methods such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), MRI and EEG.
