Manuela Sellitto, Ph.D., is a Postdoc Researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience at the Dipartimento di Psicologia and at the Centre for studies and research In Cognitive Neuroscience of the University of Bologna, under the supervision of Prof Giuseppe di Pellegrino. She spent part of her PhD research at the School of Psychology, Bangor University (Wales, UK), under the supervision of Prof Paul E Downing. Her main research interest is in the neural bases of value based decision making, with a special focus on "neuroeconomy". She uses behavioral, electrophysiological (skin conductance recording), and neuroimaging (fMRI) techniques, both in healthy subjects and brain damaged patients. At the present she has several collaborations with international labs, including the École Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne.
