Research fellow in Pisa (Italy). I'm mainly interested in the use of subliminal stimuli to study emotions (e.g., phobias) and consciousness.

Curare l'ansia su una mongolfiera (virtuale)
Dai bioingegneri del #Dii una piattaforma in cui lo scenario di realtà virtuale cambia a seconda dei segnali che invia il nostro corpo, e che può supportare nel trattamento di diversi disturbi di ansia

1/6 🚨 New paper alert! Freshly accepted in IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing (TAFFC) 🧠✨

How can we measure Social Anxiety Disorder (#SAD) dynamically, skipping the biases of old-school, static questionnaires? Check it out 👇 https://t.co/F8paBhKhAX

6/6 This framework helps catch real-time incongruencies between how people think they feel and how their body actually reacts—opening a new era of personalized, sensitive psychometrics. Models using ONLY behavioral data from standard VR controllers performed surprisingly well!

I previously stressed the importance of sharing scientific failures & rejects to normalize them. BTW, today I'm proud to celebrate a success! 💪 The Circle U. post-doc mobility program will represent an occasion to further link with Frank Scharnowski's lab

Academia is just a job

Working in academia can be stressful. Laurel Raffington suggests treating it as ‘just a job’ to reduce performance pressure and advocate for structural improvements.

Socials profiles (including this) are full of posts disseminating or celebrating achievements, but sharing negative news could normalize the daily academic routine of rejection.
Today I'm sharing that, so far, I was rejected by 4 of the 7 funding opportunities I applied for 😵‍💫

Did you know the 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄 project also have an amazing website? 😎 https://t.co/ELu8Xxwo3P
There you can find the last papers published about the 𝐁iofeedback-based pe𝐑son𝐀lised 𝐕irtual-reality 𝐄xposure therapies for anxiety disorder we are developing at Pisa University!

I'm not always being interviewed by Italian national television with BRAVE's PI Alberto Greco, but when I do I'm sweating every drop of water from my body because of the hottest day in months!
Nevertheless, it was funny to show off some research activity😎

Vienna is always amazing, but with such wonderful friends and colleagues is priceless!
Thanks again @SRaspopovic for the invited talk and the opportunity to have deep conversations about shared research interests🦾
... and best wishes to Pietro Palopoli for his promising career!

When I joined Twitter I was worried that it could negatively affect politics, but still wanted to bond with its scientific community.
Now that my worries has even worsened, I encourage free & open alternatives!

@Liad_Mudrik @RonyHirsch @MaorSchreiber1 @LublinskyShaked @ItayYaron @Eden_Elbaz3 @shaifischer96 I would love it, but funds are lacking 😅 The conference doesn't allow free admission based on CV, I will try to get there in some way anyway
