Michele Scandola is an Associate Professor at the University of Verona's Department of Human Sciences. He specializes in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and the application of virtual reality (VR) in clinical and research settings. His work focuses on body representation, peripersonal space perception, and the impact of spinal cord injuries on cognition and emotion. Scandola holds a PhD from Sapienza University of Rome (cum laude) and has collaborated with European research groups on projects involving VR, neurorehabilitation, and Bayesian statistical methods.
- Education: PhD in Psychology from Sapienza University of Rome (2014, cum laude)
- Research Interests: Embodied cognition, chronic pain and body perception, VR-based interventions, and neuropsychological assessment
- Roles: Member of the Departmental Council, FUR Committee, and Scientific Committee of the PhD program in Human Sciences
His research combines experimental methods with clinical applications, exploring how sensory-motor deficits influence higher-order cognitive functions. He has published extensively on topics like spinal cord injury-induced cognitive changes, pain perception, and the use of Bayesian statistics in cognitive sciences.
Scandola teaches courses on psychobiology, neurosciences in education, and systematic review methodologies. He leads the NPSY-Lab.VR (Laboratory of Neuropsychology) and collaborates with the CognitiveMetrix spin-off on VR and neurotechnology projects.
