معرفی
Elisa Santandrea is a Temporary Assistant Professor at the Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences, University of Verona. She specializes in Neurophysiology and Cognitive Neuroscience, focusing on attention mechanisms, sensory systems, and neural basis of cognition. Her research integrates behavioral experiments, EEG, and TMS to explore how statistical learning, top-down attention, and salience processing interact in visual selection and spatial prioritization.
Teaching roles include modules in Physiology, Neurophysiology, and Medical Humanities across multiple programs like Medicine and Surgery, Physiotherapy, and Speech Therapy. She leads courses such as ‘Neurophysiology and Neuromodulation’ and contributes to training in anatomy, motor systems, and clinical applications.
Research projects include studying attentional control mechanisms (e.g., MAC-Brain collaborative project), reward-based plasticity of spatial priorities, and the role of brain regions like FEF and IPS in attentional deployment. She is affiliated with labs like the Neurosciences Cognitive Lab and collaborates on WHO initiatives in mental health. Her work spans experimental studies, neuroimaging, and translational research.
