About
I am a cognitive neuroscientist at Kingston University working on the neural underpinnings of cognitive, affective and social processing. My main research interest is long-term memory, more specifically the temporal dynamics of memory formation and the factors that have a positive impact on memory (motivation, brain training, non-invasive brain stimulation). More recently I have developed an interest in social and affective neuroscience, with a specific focus on the neural correlates of political decisions. My work relies on neuroimaging, electrophysiological and non-invasive brain stimulation methods.
I got my PhD in Cognitive Sciences from the University of Florence, Italy. I have done post-doctoral work at University College London, University of California San Diego and University of Siena. I have been working at Kingston University since September 2014
