Flora Giocondo receved a Bachelor’s degree in Applied psychological sciences in 2016 from Università dell’aquila with a thesis "Cognition and social cognition in spinocebellar ataxia". She also receved a Master’s degree in Cognitive neurosciences and psychological rehabilitation cum laude in 2018 from Università la Sapienza with a thesis “Response to change heading in the cortical regions sensitive to your movement”. Her main research interests are emotion, social-emotional interaction, cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychological disorders, social cognition, affordance and aesthetic emotions. Some more details: 2014-2015: Internship at UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DELL'AQUILA (Main activities and responsibilities: I attended a research project aimed at the Italian validation of the RAT (The Remote Associates Test) and the identification of gender differences regarding divergent thinking and convergent thinking. I have assisted in the preparation of the experimental hypothesis and in the recruitment of the subjects).2018: Internship at FONDAZIONE SANTA LUCIA- IRCCS (Main activities and responsibilities: Planning and execution of a research project in fMRI,including the creation of run, the recruitment of participants,acquisition of data and the data analysis).2018: Corso di formazione sulle problematiche di sicurezza in RM (Training and information activities on specific risks in MRI for Tomographers: SIEMENS mod. ALLEGRA from 3 T; PHILIPS mod. ACHIEVA 3 T and mod. INGENIA of 1,5 T; ESAOTE mod. 0.31T OSCAN).2019-2020: Internship at ISTITUTO DI SCIENZE E TECNOLOGIE DELLA COGNIZIONE - CNR (Main activities and responsibilities: Hypothesis drafting, protocol definition, execution and analysis of the results of the following experiments:- Aesthetic affordance: aimed at exploring how a particular feature of objects (the shape) affects emotion. The goal is to assess whether aesthetic emotion can be examined through changes in the autonomic nervous system- Affordance and emotions: aimed at analyzing whether the passive view of emotional images influences the motor response to dangerous / neutral objects- Affordance and smartphone: analyze if the smartphone can elicit many more affordances than other devices- Empath-AI: measurement of the physiological response to emotional images through biosensors- Affordance, EEG and peripersonal space: investigate whether EEG evidence supports the functioning of an inhibitory mechanism that interferes with the coding of dangerous objects and whether this mechanism can be affected by the distance of an object.Acquired skills and achieved objectives: Python programming, data analysis, AI project manager, deep learning, machine learning, use of biosensor, TensorFlow, Keras, neuromarketing application, R Studio).Publications Mustile, M., Giocondo, F., Caligiore, D., Borghi, A.
