Interessi di ricerca

I am a Postdoctoral researcher in Cognitive & Brain Sciences at CIMeC (Center for Mind/Brain Science) at the University of Trento. With a deep focus on brain state-dependent EEG-TMS, TMS-EEG, MEG, and EEG data collection and analysis, my work centers on understanding structural and functional plasticity, both in healthy and clinical populations. I have advanced knowledge in data analysis techniques and am especially interested in how the different sources of variability in neuroscience data can influence studies' results. I'm dedicated to combining real-time functional and structural data to better capture individual differences and enhance the reproducibility of TMS-EEG, EEG, and MEG research.
