Research
What is the link between the body and the self? How do we become aware of ourselves and of others? How do we relate to and respond to the images that power human culture? These are some of the key questions that we research.

People
Academics are fortunate enough to spend their whole career surrounded by young minds. A privilege that few other professions can give you. These are the people who make our research possible, successful and most enjoyable. The people to whom I am grateful for their creativity, skills and openness.

Publications
Since 2003, our research has resulted in numerous publications in peer-reviewed international journals. In addition to the research articles we publish, we think it is important to take the time to consolidate our findings in original theoretical and review papers.Several of our papers are among the most-cited articles in our field of research (source: Thomson Reuters Citation Thresholds).

Gianluca Finotti
After completing my MSc in Cognitive Psychology at the University of Turin (Italy) I was awarded a PhD studentship by the University of Chieti-Pescara G. d’Annunzio. I conducted my research at the ITAB (institute of advanced biomedical technologies), and at the University of Virginia under the supervision of Prof. Marcello Costantini and Prof. Dennis Proffitt. Currently, I am a post-doc researcher at the Royal Holloway University of London under the supervision of Prof. Manos Tsakiris.
Research Interests
My research aims at increasing our understanding of how the state of our body influences our cognitive processes. In particular, I have investigated how the state of the immune system influences the ability of the brain to combine information coming from different sensory modalities (i.e. Multisensory Integration), and how the brain represents the body. In my research I have used behavioural techniques, psychophysics and neurophysiologic measures (i.e. EEG).
