Andrea Facoetti is an Associate Professor at the Department of General Psychology, University of Padua. His research focuses on developmental neuropsychology, particularly investigating visual and auditory perceptual mechanisms in neurodevelopmental disorders such as dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, and dyscalculia. He explores early neurocognitive predictors and develops innovative rehabilitation programs, notably through action video game interventions and neuromodulation techniques like transcranial stimulation.
His work emphasizes attentional control, multisensory processing, and neuroplasticity. Key contributions include demonstrating how action video games enhance reading abilities and attention in children and adults with dyslexia, and identifying visual and auditory temporal processing deficits linked to developmental disorders. He also studies parental autistic traits' influence on infant socio-communicative development.
Recent articles highlight trends in neuromodulation (e.g., tRNS, tDCS), video game-based interventions, and the role of sensory integration in developmental outcomes. Facoetti collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, including oncological radiotherapy studies and educational tool development (e.g., reading assessment web applications).
His research bridges basic neuroscience and clinical applications, aiming to translate findings into practical tools for early diagnosis and intervention. He actively publishes in high-impact journals and contributes to international conferences, advancing understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders' underlying mechanisms.
