-Collaboration with the Memory Center group-Collection of neuropsychological data using experimental paradigms based on VR

I have trained in the psychological and neuropsychological assessment of different kinds of patients (hepatic encephalopathy, obesity, psychiatric conditions). I also worked on the development of two academic courses, named "Neuropsychology in Internal Medicine" and "Neurofunctional Diagnosis".

I have worked on the development of a pilot memory assessment test using virtual reality technology in the form of 360° immersive scenarios. I acquired experience in the use of the InstaVR software and Oculus Go headset.

I worked side by side with my tutors (a psychiatrist and a psychotherapist) during clinical interviews and assessments, learning some informations about psychological and neuropsychological manifestations of psychiatric disorders, all in a strong multidisciplinary setting.
