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.


Language, reading, and learning

Research in Davide’s lab investigates language, reading, and learning, through behavioural experiments, eye tracking, electrophysiology and brain imaging. Learn more on Davide's lab website.

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.

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

I joined SISSA (SENSEx lab) in 2022 during my International Master's Degree in Neuroscience at the University of Trieste to carry out my curricular internship.

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.

 I received my Master's Degree in Physics from the University of Rome "La Sapienza". Afterwards, I worked as a research fellow at IIT under the supervision of Giancarlo Ruocco, focusing on graph theoretical properties of Symmetric Recurrent Neural Networks.

Mojtaba joined SISSA in 2018 and is working with Dr. Chris Mathys. He is interested in statistical learning, Physics of complex systems, collective behaviors, and economics as well as computational psychiatry.
Prior to starting his Ph.D., he obtained a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from Isfahan University of Technology.
