As a cognitive neuroscientist and philosopher, Benedetta’s multidisciplinary research focuses on uncovering the neural underpinnings of sensory disconnection – defined as a state of consciousness devoid of environmental perception. Her work leverages neuroimaging techniques, such as EEG and fMRI, alongside phenomenological sampling during sleep and sedation to investigate the complex relationship between brain activity and the subjective experience of the world.
Research Interests: sensory disconnection, neural correlates of consciousness, phenomenology.
