Elena Eccher

Elena Eccher is a Research Fellow at the Interdepartmental Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMEC) at the University of Trento, Italy, focusing on interdisciplinary neuroscience and cognitive science research.

Her core research domains include:

• Cerebral asymmetry and lateralization mechanisms
• Animal cognition and numerical processing in non-human species
• Behavioral neuroscience using animal models
• Electrophysiological methods (EEG) and oculometry
• Comparative and developmental approaches to cognitive neuroscience

Dr. Eccher's work integrates experimental methodologies to investigate fundamental cognitive processes across species, with emphasis on neural correlates of behavior and evolutionary perspectives in brain organization. Her research contributes to understanding how cerebral lateralization shapes cognitive functions in comparative contexts.
