Welcome to my website! 

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Modena and a Visiting Scholar at Stanford University (USA). 

My research investigates how reading shapes our brain and behavior. I use behavioral, electrophysiological (EEG/MEG), and neuroimaging (DTI) methods to examine the structural and functional properties of the cognitive processes underlying language comprehension. My work bridges cognitive neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and neurodevelopmental psychology. 

I have been a Marie Curie Fellow and a Rita Levi Montalcini Fellow. I am currently an ERC Consolidator Grantee.
