معرفی
Simone Battaglia is an Assistant Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Bologna's Department of Psychology 'Renzo Canestrari' and a Research Fellow at the University of Turin. His research focuses on neural mechanisms of fear learning, memory, and emotion regulation, employing non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS/tDCS) and physiological measures (EEG, SCR, HRV). He investigates the role of the prefrontal cortex in fear acquisition and reconsolidation, with implications for PTSD and neurodegenerative disorders. Battaglia leads the Centre for Studies and Research in Cognitive Neuroscience (CsrNC) in Cesena, Italy.
