Research Interests :
Focusing my research on chronometric behavioural studies I have tried to better define the role of «finger numeral representations» in the understanding and developing numeral concept, as well as to highlight how the use of a systematic fingers counting/montring activity could interact with, and maybe modify, the semantic representation of numbers.
More recently I have worked on the reorientation of visuo-spatial attention induced by numbers and how these peculiar properties could be considered as a fruitful tool in visual rehabilitation for those patients suffering of visuo-attentional impairments (i.e., neglect patients).
