• Current Role: Honorary Research Fellow (Psychology)
• Additional Role: Researcher (Psychology)
• Institution: University of Sussex, School of Psychology

Research Interests: Giulia investigates how interoceptive abilities influence aesthetic appraisal, the neural and behavioral correlates of mental imagery, and how inflammation modulates reward/punishment sensitivity. Her work bridges psychology, neuroscience, and art theory.

Publication Trends: Recent articles explore mental imagery's dissociation from visual attentional templates, inflammation's impact on motivational states, and the neuroaesthetic evaluation of kitsch art. Keywords span Cognitive Neuroscience, Psychopharmacology, and Neuroaesthetics, with subfields including Interoceptive Awareness, Motivational Reorientation, and Kitsch Aesthetics.
