Chiara Tortelli

Phd Student in Clinical Physiopathology - Academic Year 2018-2019
Curriculum: Bio-Psychological and Statistical
Research project: Pupillometry as non-invasive technique to pinpoint inter-individual variability in perception Supervisor: Prof. Paola Binda

Dr Chiara Tortelli graduated at University of Florence with a thesis on “Contextual effects in visual perception: a size illusion measured by pupil responses”. Dr Tortellli current research interests focus around visual (measured with pupillometry and psychophysics) and haptics perception (psychophysics), 
neurodevelopmental disorders (currently particularly interested in Autism Spectrum Disorder) and Local/global perception.
