Riccardo Barbieri

Riccardo Barbieri is a PhD student in the lab. He obtained his Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Bologna (2014) and his Master's degree in Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical Neuropsychology from the University of Padova (2016). He first joined the lab as a Master student to write his thesis on brain signals related to visuo-spatial attention. After graduation, he started to work on a project on feature-continuous perceptual decisions. His main research interest is how the human brain encodes visual stimuli and transforms them into perceptual judgements. To collect and analyze data he employs a combination of psychophysics, neuroimaging and machine learning.
