6 positions, of which:
- n. 2 scholarships funded by IUSS on the following topic: “Cognitive, clinical and experimental neuroscience”. Projects focus on understanding the nature, organisation and neural processes underlying different aspects of cognitive functioning through behavioural, neurophysiological, neurostimulation and/or neuroimaging studies in healthy, neurodegenerative or psychiatric populations. Characteristic topics include memory, language, executive functions, decision-making, social cognition and nutritional neuroscience;
- n. 1 position with scholarship co-funded by National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) - DM 630/2024 – Investment 3.3. Innovative Doctorates, on the following topic: “Application of high-definition direct current transcranial stimulation (HD-tDCS) to neurorehabilitation”. This research project aims at the development, and validation in neuro-psychiatric disorders, of innovative neuromodulation rehabilitation treatments aimed at increasing the intensity/focus of the effect of direct current electrical stimulation (tDCS) using customized high-definition protocols (HD-tDCS).
