Silvia Seghezzi, Ph.D.

Bio

Silvia Seghezzi received the Master’s degree in Clinical, Developmental and Neuro-Psychology from the University of Milan-Bicocca in 2016. She is a PhD student in Neuroscience under the supervision of Prof. Eraldo Paulesu. She is interested in motor control and its normal and abnormal physiology, with reference to the study of intentionality and sense of agency. She is investigating such domains in healthy young and elderly subjects, as well as in clinical populations. She is also studying the neural correlates of motor imagery in normal subjects and orthopaedic patients.
