Selene Schintu is a Researcher (RTD-A) at the Interdepartmental Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMEC), University of Trento, Italy. She holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience (2014, Lyon) and has held academic roles including Part-time Faculty at George Washington University (2019–2022) and postdoctoral positions at NIH and CIMEC. Her research focuses on visuospatial attention, brain asymmetry, and neurorehabilitation, employing techniques such as TMS, EEG, and fMRI.
- Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience (2011–2014), Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, France
- MS in Science of Mind (2006–2008), University of Turin
- BS in Neuropsychological Sciences and Techniques (2003–2006), University of Turin
Her work explores how interhemispheric balance influences cognitive processes, particularly through prism adaptation and neuromodulation. Recent studies (2020–2022) examine functional connectivity changes via TMS and behavioral outcomes in attentional networks. She has secured significant grants, including a €102,000 PRIN grant as Local PI (2023–2025) and a $250,000 NRSA award (2018–2020).
Her publications and conferences (2014–2022) highlight the role of parietal cortex in spatial cognition and learning. She has mentored numerous graduate and master’s students at institutions including NIH, George Washington University, and University of Trento.
- Outstanding Poster Awards (2017–2021, NIH)
- SIPF Award for Best Scientific Contribution (2012)
- Travel Awards (2016, 2009)
Schintu serves on editorial boards (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Frontiers in Psychology) and scientific committees (University of Messina, University of Lyon). Her outreach includes promoting cognitive science to high school students and public workshops in Trento, Italy.
