Marinella Cappelletti

Marinella Cappelletti is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London, specializing in cognitive neuroscience and the study of brain function across the lifespan. Her research focuses on numerical cognition, memory, executive functions, and aging, employing techniques like EEG and non-invasive brain stimulation. She has secured significant grants from organizations including the Wellcome Trust and Royal Society. Key contributions include exploring cognitive reserve's role in mental health, alpha and gamma oscillations in working memory, and the neurophysiology of middle-age cognition.

Education & Research:

• PhD supported by Wellcome Trust
• Postdoctoral training via Royal Society Fellowships

Research Interests:

Her work spans numerical cognition, aging brain dynamics, and the interplay between brain stimulation and cognitive enhancement. She emphasizes translational science while promoting gender equality in academia through initiatives like Athena Swan.

Publications:

Recent articles highlight innovations in understanding working memory mechanisms via oscillatory patterns (alpha/gamma bands), cognitive reserve’s mental health benefits, and middle-age neurophysiological markers. These contributions underscore her expertise in bridging basic neuroscience with applied cognitive interventions.
