The group’s research interests encompass the following topics:
- Motor and attentional processes in individual and social contexts and within and across different sensory modalities (vision, hearing, touch):
-- spatial compatibility and Simon effect;
-- interaction between emotions and gaze orientation
-- affordance effect and use of objects
- embodied and grounded perspective of cognition:
-- processing and representation of concepts
-- interaction between high-level cognitive processes (language processing and numerical cognition) and motor processes;
- interaction of high-level cognitive processes and perceptual processes;
- interaction between cognitive and affective processes in visual perception;
- Integration of cognitive and artificial models of the world (grounded world models) also through extended reality (XR)
