SILVIA SEGHEZZI

PhD Student

I achieved my Master’s degree in Clinical, Developmental and Neuro-Psychology at the University of Milano-Bicocca in October 2016 and since July 2018 I am a qualified Psychologist (Ordine degli Psicologi della Lombardia – registration number: 20829). Since November 2017 I am a PhD Student in Clinical Neuroscience at the School of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca.
My main research interests concern the intentional motor process, with particular reference to the study of the motor intention, the sense of agency (i.e. the ability to recognize that we are the actors of our behavior and its consequences) and the action awareness more in general. Particularly, during the last two years, the main focus of my research activity has been the study of the neurofunctional correlates of sense of agency. To these aims, I have combined behavioral, neuroimaging (functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI), brain-stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS) and meta-analytical techniques.
