I am currently pursuing a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at SISSA (since 2021), where I conduct my research within the Time Perception Lab and the SENSEx Lab, in collaboration with the Stochastic Thermodynamics and Biophysics Group at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).
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.
I joined SISSA in 2024 as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Domenica Bueti's Time Perception Lab. I am interested in understanding the neural basis of time perception within the subsecond interval by using electroencephalography (EEG).
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.
Hi there! I'm Giulio and I joined SISSA in 2024 as a post doc in prof. Davide Crepaldi's lab. I am generally interested in understanding how people learn and perceive language, and what the underlying cognitive mechanisms are.
Timon joined SISSA in 2023 as a PhD student. He is supervised by Davide Crepaldi and Alessandro Treves. He would like to understand how the structure of human memory and thought arises from the dynamics of neuronal populations.
I joined SISSA in 2023, I am doing my PhD under the supervision of Alessandro Treves in the LIMBO group. My interests lie in the intersection between Physics and Neuroscience.
I joined SISSA in 2023 as a PhD student in the Neural Computation Lab under the supervision of Eugenio Piasini. I apply tools from machine learning and statistical physics to understand brain computations.
I'm Daniele Tirinnanzi, I was born in Florence, where I obtained my bachelor’s in cognitive psychology. I then moved to Trento to study cognitive neuroscience, and joined SISSA in October 2022 as a master’s student of the UniTrento-SISSA program.
I joined SISSA in 2022 as a PhD student. I am currently working in collaboration with the Neural Computation Lab and the Theory of Neural Networks Lab to develop models for intrinsic timescales underlying hierarchical dynamical processing in the brain and biologically plausible learning mechanisms.
Hediye joined SISSA in 2024 as a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Alessandro Treves’s Neuroscience Lab. She is passionate about data, with a background in physics, computational analysis, and programming. She is enthusiastic about understanding the dynamics of complex systems through data-driven approaches.
