I obtained my PhD in Neuroscience from the University of Brescia (Italy), where I focused on combining non-invasive brain stimulation with EEG to study brain activity. After that, I moved to Rome for a postdoctoral position at the Fondazione Santa Lucia, where I explored how brain waves (oscillations) contribute to brain connectivity and adaptability in the motor system.

I then moved to the University of Glasgow, to investigate how brain oscillations influence perception in the visual system.

My research focuses on two main topics:

  1. Brain Oscillations: I study how brain waves help different parts of the brain communicate. I’m particularly interested in how these oscillations control attention, visual processing, and the motor system.
  2. Brain Stimulation: I also research how brain stimulation, especially Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), affects brain activity and behaviour, helping us understand how to enhance cognitive and motor functions.
