My background is in Psychology (B.Sc.) and Cognitive Neuroscience (M.Sc.) with a specialization in neuroimaging and neurostimulation techniques.
During my undergraduate studies, I worked on the application of neuromodulatory techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in visual perception at the University of Padova, and my master’s thesis project in the TOBergmann lab consisted in the online application of transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS) to assess corticospinal excitability in the primary motor cortex (M1).
Building on this experience, I will continue my PhD project by investigating connectivity-informed targeting of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and concurrent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The main goal of my PhD project is to improve neurostimulation therapy for personalized treatment of psychiatric disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
