EXPLORING COVERT MOTOR PROCESSES: BEHAVIORAL INSIGHTS AND INNOVATIVE APPLICATIONS OF TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION
This thesis investigates the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying covert motor processes, building on a well-established body of research on motor imagery, motor preparation, and action observation. Traditional methods have primarily relied on the 1 muscle × 1 action (1m1a) approach, in …

Understanding Socio-Cognitive Impairments in Parkinson's Disease: from Behavioural to Neuroimaging Characterisation
… in social cognition. Nevertheless, socio-cognitive dysfunctions in PD remain a relatively underexplored area, and the available tools for assessing these deficits are limited, particularly in the clinical setting. To address this gap in the existing literature, the present doctoral thesis …

A metacognitive approach to hearing and listening in older adults
… the effects of aging and hearing loss on metacognitive processes. Studies 1–3 showed that aging alone does not impair monitoring. Older adults tracked their performance, effort, and confidence as accurately as younger adults, and sometimes more so. However, hearing loss was linked to weaker …

Visual perception of social groups in zebrafish
Many animals live in groups and often make decisions based on the behaviour of others, integrating information coming from multiple social partners. The number of conspecifics performing a given action is often a key determinant of individual behaviour. Accordingly, the nervous system must extract …

Predictions in a dynamic world: the adaptive role of the Active Prediction Network
… have been investigated across multiple cognitive domains, including visual perception, social cognition, and language comprehension. While extensive research has focused on automatic linguistic predictions based on long-term statistical regularities, the neural mechanisms supporting …
