I have an academic and professional background in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Developmental Psychology and Neuroscience, having accumulated clinical experience working with infants, children and families. As a researcher, I primarily work in the Developmental Affective Neuroscience scientific domain. My research focuses on the neural bases of mother-infant relationship and emotional processing. I am particularly interested in knowing how infants and mothers process the emotional information conveyed through facial expressions. These topics are addressed combining techniques from Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience and Affective Neuroscience, namely, behavioral, physiological, developmental, eye-tracking and neural/fMRI measures.
