Francesco Belli is a PhD student in the Potsdam Embodied Cognition Group (PECoG). After achieving his Bachelor degree in "Clinical Psychology" (2013) from the University of Pisa (Italy), he obtained a Master degree in "Body and Mind Sciences" (2017) from the University of Turin (Italy).

 

 

During his internship (2018) at University of Turin he focused mainly on:

  • Use of fMRI techniques to map neural correlates underlying human behaviors and cognitive functions;
  • Applications of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in cognitive neuroscience;
  • Spatial and visual attention, motor intention and action recognition;
  • Spatial, motor and bodily awareness;
  • Neurodegenerative processes and behavioral correlates.

Francesco is currently working on his PhD within a project involving developing of augmented reality training and stress analysis during simulation of natural disasters. This person has no teaching duties and is paid from a research grant.
