We study the interactive neurocognitive systems underlying Selective Attention and Motivated Cognition.

We have laboratories dedicated to behavioral, TMS and eye-movement studies on human subjects, as well as neurophysiology labs for single and multi-unit recordings from behaving non human primates.


We are based at the Department of Neurosciences, Biomedicine and Movement Sciences - Section of Physiology and Psychology, at the University of Verona, Italy.

Job Announcements

Post-doctoral fellowships

There are currently 2 available positions as postdoctoral research fellows at the research laboratory led by Prof. Leonardo Chelazzi. These positions will focus on investigating the behavioral and neurophysiological aspects of selective visual attention and the mechanisms involved in suppressing distracting visual stimuli in healthy individuals. The research will involve recording electrical brain activity (EEG) and related potential events (ERP), as well as applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques.

Post-graduate training for Psychologists

We are currently searching for students in Psychology willing to spend their post-graduate apprenticeship working with us.
For more information please contact Prof. Leonardo Chelazzi or Dr. Chiara Della Libera.
