People

Under this section, you'll find all research personnel in the Cognitive Neuroscience group at SISSA, with a brief description of who they are and what they do. Where available, links are also provided to the personal/lab websites.

Faculty Members are full and associate professors in the group, i.e., tenured group leaders who can directly supervise students, recruit staff in their labs, and manage funds. They provide the bulk of the teaching offer in the PhD.

Senior Postdocs are non-tenured, but independent researchers who are recruited in the group to widen our research portfolio with their own investigations. They’re encouraged to liaise with (some of) the PI’s labs; but are expected to maintain independence. They typically don't supervise students independently, and don’t manage research funds directly (unless they have their own external funds, of course). They typically contribute to the teaching offer in the PhD.

Postdocs are non-tenured, research positions to work in one of the PI’s labs. They can be funded internally or through external grants. They don't supervise students independently, and don’t manage research funds directly. If they’re happy to do so, they can contribute to the teaching offer in the PhD.

Students include PhD in our own program; Master in one of the programs that we run in collaboration with partners institutions; and subsidised graduate and postgraduate fellows who run short-term visits to the group, typically in the view of joining our PhD program.


Yukti joined SISSA in 2020 and is working with Mathew Diamond.

I joined SISSA in 2022 as a master's student in Cognitive Neuroscience and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Visual Neuroscience Lab under the supervision of Prof. Davide Zoccolan.

I joined the SISSA PhD program in Cognitive Neuroscience in 2021. Currently I am working on “human perceptual decision making of nonequilibrium fluctuations” under supervision of Domenica Bueti, and co-supervision by Mathew Diamond.

After obtaining a BA in psychology, I started the MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience program at CIMeC, University of Trento and joined SISSA in 2022 within the UniTrento-SISSA Program. As an intern, I am working with Prof. Crepaldi in the Language, Learning and Reading Lab.

Judit joined SISSA in 2020 and is working with Alessandro Treves.

Davide joined SISSA in 2019 and is working with Mathew Diamond.

 I'm a PhD student, working on a project investigating the relationship between attentional functions and tactile perception, under the supervision of Mathew Diamond. However, I joined SISSA in 2021 as a master student.

Iacopo joined SISSA in 2018 and is working with Mathew Diamond.

I came to SISSA in 2021 as a Trento-SISSA Master’s student, and joined Davide Crepaldi’s Language, Learning & Reading Group Lab. I love to look at language from different angles, so my research has always been interdisciplinary, at the intersection between (Computational) Linguistics, Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.
