Massimo Grassi is an Associate Professor at the Department of General Psychology, University of Padova. His research focuses on auditory and audiovisual perception, psychophysics, and the development of experimental tools like the Psychophysics Toolbox and Psychoacoustics-Web. He emphasizes reproducibility in research through initiatives like the PECANS statement and contributes to open science practices. His work spans cognitive psychology, music cognition, and interdisciplinary projects linking art, technology, and perception. Grassi collaborates on tools for sonification in astronomy and studies the impact of music training on cognitive functions.
Key research interests include auditory perception mechanisms, cross-modal correspondences, and the application of psychophysical methods to understand sensory and cognitive processes. He has explored topics such as working memory differences between musicians and non-musicians, the role of emotions in peripersonal space development, and the effectiveness of sonification in education and science communication.
Grassi's recent work highlights contributions to open science frameworks, the development of free online research tools, and collaborative projects in music psychology and neuroimaging. He is actively involved in advancing methodological standards in psychological research while maintaining a focus on bridging experimental psychology with technological innovation.
