Human olfaction, Human chemosignals, Affective disorders, alexithymia

Le mie proposte di tesi vertono soprattutto sulla psicofisiologia dell'olfatto in ambito psicologico clinico
Tra le attuali proposte di tesi rientrano:

- Indagine su olfatto e percezione delle espressioni facciali in individui con disturbi dell'umore (studio EEG)
- Indagine sulla modulazione degli odori corporei sul controllo inibitorio in soggetti sani
- Indagine sulla consapevolezza olfattiva come predittore del decadimento cognitivo lieve (MCI)
