Research

My research activity focuses on the development of human social cognition, with a particular interest in the abilities that allow infants to understand others’ behaviours. I use behavioural (eye-tracking, reaction and fixation times) and electrophysiological measures (EEG, sEMG, ECG) to investigate the impact of social context characteristics (e.g., ostracism and intergroup relations) on the cognitive mechanisms and neural correlates involved in understanding others’ actions and emotions, as well as imitative behaviours in the early years of life.
