Stefania Conte

Stefania Conte is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of South Carolina, affiliated with the McCausland College of Arts and Sciences. She is part of the USC Infant Development Laboratory and holds an office in the Institute for Mind and Brain (Room 110). Her work focuses on understanding the development of face processing and attention in infancy using EEG, source analysis, and white matter tractography.

Dr. Conte completed her doctoral degree in Experimental Psychology, Linguistics, and Cognitive Neuroscience (curriculum: Mind, Brain, and Behavior) in 2018. Her postdoctoral training under Dr. Richards involved implementing EEG source analysis methods to study neural and behavioral aspects of face processing in infants. She employs interdisciplinary techniques, including electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, and visual preference measures, to investigate early cognitive and neural development.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided text. Her research emphasizes structural and functional neural relationships in infant face processing, with a focus on developmental trajectories and methodological innovation in neuroimaging.
