Maurizio Codispoti

Maurizio Codispoti is a Full Professor at the Department of Psychology 'Renzo Canestrari', University of Bologna. His research focuses on the interplay between emotion, learning, and perception, particularly in the context of natural scene processing. He employs physiological measures like ERP, oscillatory brain activity, and autonomic responses to study emotional and cognitive mechanisms.
