\n

I did my BSc in Psychology at the University of Parma with a thesis on Multisensory Integration in people with OCD, then I moved to Rome where I took a MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience with a thesis on the behavioral investigation of heuristic behaviour in a two-level decision-making task in macaque monkeys. During my MSc I met Prof. Giandomenico Iannetti with whom I started a project on the dynamics of the vertex evoked potential, the largest EEG response measurable in awake healthy humans. During the summer between my first and second year of MSc, I worked in Belgium, at KU Leuven, as a Research Assistant at Prof. Peter Jannsen’s Lab where I explored the effective connectivity of the Mirror Neuron System in macaque monkeys using fMRI. After graduating, I worked for a year at Giandomenico Iannetti’s\u00a0Lab as a Research Assistant studying electrospinography using EEG.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I am currently a PhD student at BrainLab under the supervision of Prof. Jordi Costa Faidella, where I aim to investigate whether the brain’s singing network exploits coherent oscillations at voice pitch frequencies to control phonation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4163,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-4162","researcher","type-researcher","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMotta, M. - Brainlab<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ub.edu\/brainlab\/researcher\/motta-m-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Motta, M. - Brainlab\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I did my BSc in Psychology at the University of Parma with a thesis on Multisensory Integration in people with OCD, then I moved to Rome where I took a MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience with a thesis on the behavioral investigation of heuristic behaviour in a two-level decision-making task in macaque monkeys.
