Bio

Sara De Felice, PhD

Sara De Felice is a social neuroscientist. She studies the rich dynamics emerging between people as they learn from and with others in the real world. Combining advanced neuroimaging, eye-tracking, physiological and behavioural measures, she models the teacher-learner interaction and how this supports human learning. Her work provides direct insights into educational interactions and has the potential to inform other types of social dynamics, such as therapeutic and teamwork interactions.
