Passionate researcher dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of consciousness within neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. By bridging philosophy and neuroscience, I aim to reveal the complex dimensions of altered states of consciousness. My work includes cognitive neuroscience research on cognitive decline, in collaboration with the National Research Council. My goal is to deepen our understanding of conscious experience, neuropsychiatric conditions, and the intricacies of cognitive decline and neurodegeneration.

Research interests:

  • Neurocognitive Aging and Cognitive Decline
  • Consciousness
  • Philosophy of Psychiatry
  • Philosophy of Cognitive Science
