Simone Cutini

Simone Cutini serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Developmental Psychology at the University of Padova, where he leads the functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Laboratory. His academic role centers on advancing neuroimaging methodologies within cognitive and developmental neuroscience research.

His primary research investigates cognitive control mechanisms, visual short-term memory processes, and numerical cognition through behavioral experiments and neuroimaging techniques. Specializing in functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), his work bridges psychological theory with neural measurement to decode cognitive architecture during developmental stages.

As Laboratory Head, Cutini oversees multimodal neuroimaging operations including high-density EEG, eye-tracking systems, and pre-clinical facilities. His research group participates in university-wide working groups focused on computational neuroscience and translational clinical applications, contributing to the institution's neuroimaging infrastructure.
