David Melcher investigates the interaction of perception, attention, memory and action within a cognitive neuroscience framework. He received his PhD in Psychology and Cognitive Science in 2001 from Rutgers University and, since then, has worked as a researcher and then professor in Italy and the UK. His main research interest is how attention, perception, memory, emotion and self-movement interact in guiding our cognition and actions, as well as the neural underpinnings of these capacities. He has published numerous articles in international, peer-reviewed journals such as\u00a0Nature<\/em>,\u00a0Nature Neuroscience<\/em>,\u00a0Neuron<\/em>,\u00a0Current Biology<\/em>,\u00a0PNAS<\/em>,\u00a0Trends in Cognitive Science<\/em>,\u00a0Cognition,<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0Journal of Neuroscience<\/em>. These studies have used a variety of cognitive neuroscience methods, including fMRI, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking and behavioral studies, as well as the use of computational modeling and cognitive neuropsychological investigations with clinical populations. In 2011, the American Psychological Association recognized the impact of this work in the field of cognitive neuroscience by awarding him a \u201cDistinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology.\u201d He is a member of the editorial board of the\u00a0Journal of Vision, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review<\/em>, the journal\u00a0Perception,<\/em>\u00a0and the open-access journal\u00a0iPerception<\/em>. His research has been funded by, among others, the European Research Council, the US National Institutes of Health, the Italian Ministry of Research and Education, and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Expert Affairs.<\/p>\n

Gianluca earned a master’s degree in Neuroscience and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation from the University of Padua (Italy). After graduation, he completed a postgraduate internship at the BDACLAB of Vita-Salute San Raffaele University under the supervision of Prof. Luca Ronconi, where he conducted EEG experiments on audiovisual integration processes. His research focused on investigating EEG correlates of visuospatial attentional anomalies in individuals with autism, employing Multivariate Pattern Analysis (MVPA) of EEG data.<\/p>\n

Gianluca\u00a0pursued his PhD at the University of Bologna (Italy), at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience in Cesena under the supervision of Prof. Caterina Bertini. His doctoral research explored the role of oscillatory activity in orchestrating visual and audiovisual perception, and he is currently awaiting his dissertation defense (scheduled for March 2025).<\/p>\n

At NYU Abu Dhabi, he investigates the relationship between brain oscillations, temporal perception, and visuospatial attentional processes, with a particular focus on individual differences across the autism-schizophrenia continuum. To this end, his research integrates multimodal psychophysical and psychophysiological methods (M\/EEG, eye-tracking) along with non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, such as sensory entrainment of neural oscillations.<\/p>\n

Research Interests: <\/strong>the study of how the oscillatory brain activity drives visual\/audiovisual and attentional performance, the study of potential anomalies in oscillatory activity in patients affected by visual field defects and in neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ASD, SCZ), and the investigation of how brain oscillations can be functionally modulated using sensory entrainment and NIBS techniques.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|0px|0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px|0px|0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sites.nyuad.nyu.edu\/activecognition\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Placeholder.png” title_text=”Placeholder” align_tablet=”” align_phone=”left” align_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” transform_scale=”91%|91%” width=”96%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”left” min_height=”224px” height_tablet=”” height_phone=”175px” height_last_edited=”on|phone” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#474645″ link_font=”||||on|||rgba(71,70,69,0.35)|” link_text_color=”#474645″ header_2_text_color=”#DA4B39″ header_2_font_size=”28px” header_4_text_color=”#57068C” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” header_2_font_size_tablet=”31px” header_2_font_size_phone=”28px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”left” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Jiacheng is a Global PhD student specializing in cognitive neuroscience. He earned my Bachelor of Science with Honors (BSc Hons) in Psychology from Trinity College, University of Toronto, Canada, and later obtained a Master by Research (MRes) from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, where he worked with Dr. Robert McIntosh and Dr. Antimo Buonocore.<\/p>\n

His research focuses on eye movements and visual perception, particularly how saccadic eye movements influence visual processing and interact with unexpected external sensory inputs. He is especially interested in the neural mechanisms underlying saccade generation and oculomotor control, and how they shape the way we perceive the world around us.<\/p>\n
