About
I am a lecturer in Psychology at Liverpool Hope University, with a background in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
My research focuses on the role of sensory and sensorimotor experience in shaping perception, action, and cortical excitability during development, adulthood, and in case of sensory loss. In particular, my areas of interest include visual and auditory perception, multisensory integration, action and body perception, and sensorimotor learning in real and virtual environments.
In the past years, I have been investigating the development of perceptual and sensorimotor skills in young individuals who received sight restoration surgery after years of visual deprivation due to congenital cataracts. I have developed training procedures and adapted technology to improve mobility and navigation in the environment of blind and low-vision individuals.
Building on this work, I am currently exploiting perceptual biases derived from the interaction with the environment, multisensory integration, and computational modelling to develop innovative assistive strategies and sensory substitution devices for individuals with sensory impairments.
