  Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia

  Mar 2009 - Jan 2014

  Led an interdisciplinary research aimed at the development of computational model of human 3D vision.Using an interactive virtual reality system I have conducted behavioural experiments on healthy subjects. Then, the results of these experiments informed the development of a statistical/computational model of 3D vision.Also, combining brain stimulation techniques (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation – TMS) and careful psychophysical experiments, I have investigated the neural architecture that mediates the human ability to navigate in cluttered environments.
