![]() ![]() To this end, I combine imaging approaches with psychological behavioral paradigms to measure brain activity patterns while participants make judgments about auditory rhythms. My research investigates how we perceive rhythm in sound, such as in music and language, as well as the underlying neural mechanisms. Before this, I received my PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2021. I have been a postdoc in the Neuroscience and Music lab since January of 2022. ![]() My research interests lie in the intersection of functional neuroimaging, data and information science (namely development of ontologies in cognitive neuroscience) and music cognition. After completing my MSc in Engineering Physics at Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon, Portugal), I enrolled in the BEB PhD Programme at the University of Coimbra in Portugal where I took subsequently the chance to develop my doctoral project at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden under the main supervision of Prof. Fredrik Ullén. My PhD thesis focused in the investigation of the neural correlates underlying creativity within the framework of musical performance, in which I used musical improvisation as behavioral model and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) as neuroimaging technique to measure brain activity and assess creativity in a large sample of professional pianists. Afterwards, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Parietal Team, at NeuroSpin in Paris (France), under the supervision of Dr. Bertrand Thirion for the development of the Individual Brain Charting (IBC) dataset, which refers to an open-access neuroimaging initiative concerning the acquisition and analysis of multitask fMRI data toward the establishment of a neurocognitive atlas of the human brain. Now, I’ll be again combining cognitive-atlassing techniques to fMRI data as means to investigate the cortico-basal ganglia-cerebellar circuitry involved in the cognitive ability of forming temporal predictions during rhythmic and non-rhythmic sequences of events. I am a BrainsCAN Postdoctoral Fellow in the Music and Neuroscience Lab as well as Diedrichsenlab since October 2021.
