Nicoletta holds a Ph.D. in Psychological Sciences and Education from the University of Trento and a Master’s in Linguistics and Cognitive Studies from the University of Siena. Her research bridges theoretical linguistics and cognitive neuroscience to investigate how linguistic information is processed in the brain across different populations, including healthy and brain-injured monolingual and bilingual adults, using methods such as eye-tracking, EEG, and neuroimaging. She has conducted postdoctoral research at several international institutions, including the BCBL (Marica De Vincenzi fellow) and UC Berkeley (Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow).
