Works in our lab are primarily focused on the study of the link between brain abnormalities and cognitive manifestations in a large range of neurodevelopmental disorder.
In particular we study basic mechanisms of visual attention and perception and their dysfunction in childhood, concerning:
- DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA AND OTHER SPECIFIC LEARNING DISORDERS
- ADHD
- AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER
- GENETIC SYNDROME (E.G. DOWN, WILLIAMS)

Moreover, our investigations aim to:

- FIND EARLY MARKER OF NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS
- CREATE HABILITATION/REHABILITATION PROGRAMS

If you are interest in one of these research topics for your internship and/or thesis, please contact the lab head, prof. A. Facoetti (andreafacoetti@unipd.it, deconelab@gmail.com), and he will be pleased to help you to find a project in which you can work.
