Welcome
Welcome to my personal website. My name is Tomaso, I am a cognitive scientist and researcher at the Social Intelligence Lab, Humboldt University of Berlin.
My research primarily focuses on the mechanisms of intention formation and their physiological correlates, particularly microsaccades and pupillometry.
I also have an interest in immersive technologies such as virtual reality and altered states of consciousness induced by psychedelic substances. I collaborate with the Yogalife Foundation on their research into yoga and its effects on the human mind.
