Local Organizing Committee

Sara is a dedicated PhD Student, conducting research at both the University of Verona, under the guidance of Prof. Alessandro Daducci, and the University of Basel, with Prof. Cristina Granziera. Her primary focus lies in developing a novel technique to perform quantitative tractography in the presence of focal lesions. This innovative approach seeks to mitigate known biases that are present in traditional techniques in case of pathological conditions that locally disrupt the white matter. Currently, Sara is actively engaged in several projects to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of her novel method in multiple sclerosis clinical trials. Additionally, she is exploring the potential application of this technique in other pathologies.

Chiara Mazzi graduated in experimental psychology from the University of Padua in 2008 and earned her PhD at the University of Verona in 2012. Her research focuses on the neural dynamics underlying visual awareness in the healthy and damaged human brain, with a particular interest in the role played by visually responsive areas other than the primary visual cortex, such as parietal and temporal regions. To this aim, she works with techniques characterized by different spatial and temporal resolutions, such as EEG, TMS, and fast optical imaging (EROS). She currently holds a position as Assistant Professor at the Department of Neuroscience, Biomedicine, and Movement Sciences at the University of Verona.
