My main research interests deal with visual perception and (oculo)motor control.
One of the first research topics which I have been working on are fixational eye movements, specifically microsaccades. Through the years I studied both the way in which the observation of fixational eye movements can be used to evaluate the internal state of the observer (for instance the orienting of attention), and the way in which people finely control eye movements as they attempt to solve precision manual tasks.
I collaborated to multiple studies that used evoked potentials to evaluate perception of complex stimuli, attention and motor control.
A further research theme that I have been dealing with is related to the phenomenology of peripheral vision, i.e. how and based on what information and assumptions our visual system creates a seemingly uniform representation of our visual field.
Finally, one of my research interests is related to the perceputo-motor aspects of learning, i.e. how sensory changes associated with our motor actions can modify the way we perceive the world.
Recently I also started to work on the measrement of oculomotor behavior in naturalistic situations, using mobile eye tracking, and using deep-learning based models to predict what observers look at in complex environments.
