Welcome to the Perception to Concepts Group!

 

At the Per2Con Group we are interested in the relation between perception and cognition in the human brain. We try to understand which aspects of perception act as fundamental building blocks for the development and acquisition of language-based symbolic cognition and on the other side how symbolic acquisitions in turn shape perception.

We mainly study human adults at the Experimental Psychology Labs and the NeuroImaging Labs @CIMeC, combining psychophysics with neuroimaging (fMRI, M-EEG).

We also study children with different cognitive/perceptual skills (e.g. comparing dyscalculics and/or dyslexics and typically developing) and infants from the first hours of life at the BabyLab and Neonatal Neuroimaging Unit @CIMeC, using experimental psychology methods as well as neuroimaging (EEG).

We also have the privilege to perform filed work investigating the effects of culture on cognitive/perceptual skills studying adults and children from amazonian and african indigenous traditional cultures.

Our research spans over two main areas: semantic processing and spatial navigation, and math skills and quantity processing.
