New blog post, inspired by the excellent recent qualitative paper by Makel and colleagues: On the reliability and reproducibility of qualitative research.
I reflect on how I will incorporate realist ontologies in my own qualitative research.

Fresh from the lab: A new developmental study on cognitive flexibility.
We investigated the "Unity and Diversity" of control by comparing domain-general (Executive) and domain-specific (Semantic) task-switching in 4-10 year olds.

🧠New paper out!
We introduce a novel semantic task-switching paradigm & show that executive + semantic flexibility share common mechanisms

🚨 PhD call in Neurosciences @UNIMORE_univ is open!
Join our Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology lab in Reggio Emilia 🇮🇹 – a vibrant, livable city.
We study cognitive control, perception-action links & social cognition using EEG, behavioral, mathematical & computational modeling.

Hot off the press! 🔥In our new paper we show that concrete and abstract words engage the brain differently—and it depends on the task.
EEG shows that concreteness is a continuous feature with distinct neural signatures. #Neuroscience #EEG dx.doi.org/10.1111/psyp...
Thrilled to share our latest paper has been accepted in Psychophysiology🎉
With an amazing interdepartmental team (A. Visalli, A. Angrilli, E. Ambrosini) we investigated how the brain processes word concreteness using ERPs, challenging theories of word meaning. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/ps...

🧠Oggi è la Giornata Mondiale della Salute.
Ma cosa significa davvero #salute? Solo assenza di malattia o molto di più?
Nel nostro progetto Small World of Words raccogliamo le parole che le persone associano a “salute".
