Michela Candini
Program Instructor, University of Bologna
Department of Psychology
Dr. Michela Candini is a researcher of cognitive neuroscience at the Department of Psychology of the University of Bologna. Her main research interest is in the mechanisms that govern the regulation of the ‘social' space around the body during interactions with others. To tackle this question, she has used behavioural, neuroimaging, and virtual reality techniques, both in individuals with typical development, and individuals with atypical development and social cognition deficits, such as Autism Spectrum Conditions. She also studies the cognitive mechanisms and the neural basis of bodily self-recognition in healthy individuals and neuropsychological patients. She is looking forward to welcoming the students of the Science of the Mind program, and discuss these and other neuroscience topics with them!"

Her research is mainly focused on the cognitive mechanisms and the neural basis underlying conscious and unconscious visual processing, both in neurologically intact individuals and in brain-damaged patients. Her interests also include the rehabilitation of visual field defects in brain-injuried populations. She is enthusiastic to discuss scientific views with students and look forward to welcoming the students of the Science of the Mind program.
