Research interests
My PhD research investigates the relationship between sensory modalities - visual, auditory, and haptic - and their role in shaping action planning in children. Using innovative methods, including EEG, motion tracking, eye tracking, video capture and novel smart object-fitting tasks, I aim to assess how the source and type of sensory information influence the processes of information gathering and action planning.
