Research Interests

I’ve always been fascinated by the visual system. How our brain builds up our whole 3D perception of the world starting from a 2D retinal image, for instance, has been a main source of raving and wondering around since I can remember. Scene and object recognition as well as depth perception are, in my opinion, great achievements of our captivating visual system but I believe face recognition is what it does best.

We perceive faces holistically, i.e. as a whole instead of as a sum of independent face features. Holistic processing has been shown to play a key role in face recognition and is surely a very important aspect as regards to face perception understanding. This is why I am mostly interested in holistic processing and on its neural correlates involved in normal face recognition. To this aim, I use behavioral as well as EEG and ERP methods.
