Background

About Monica Gori

I'm working with children since 2006. The main problem addressed in my research is to study how unisensory and multisensory perceptual capabilities change and interact during development in children with and without disabilities. The goal of such activity is to exploit this knowledge to understand the brain, to create new rehabilitation programs and to develop new mechatronic devices to increment sensory-motor abilities of children with sensory disabilities. I’m investigating not only how different sensory modalities are integrated during development but also how the absence of one modality, in children with sensory disabilities, can impact on other modalities that are not impaired (Gori et al. Current Biology, 2008; Gori et al. Frontiers 2012; Gori et al. Developmental Science 2012; Burr et al. 2011; Burr & Gori 2011; Gori et al. Current Biology, 2010; Gori et al. NeuroPsycholgia 2012). This research can be now summarized in 20 published manuscripts; 2 books chapters and many works presented at international conferences. In february 2014 I started to the european project ABBI of which I am the coordinator). In January 2017 I started to the european project weDRAW of which I am the coordinator). In January 2021 I'll start a my STG ERC MYSpace.
