Simone Cutini

Research Interests
My research interests mainly relate to the use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) methodology in cognitive neuroscience. My current works with fNIRS range from cognitive neuroscience investigations to probe placement and signal processing methods.
I am particularly interested in investigating the neural correlates of executive functions, cognitive control, visuo-spatial attention, numerical cognition and visual short-term memory.
