Overview

Elisabetta Làdavas is affiliated with the University of Bologna in Italy. Their research primarily focuses on the field of neuroscience, with significant contributions in cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology. The scientist's work explores a range of topics including spatial neglect and hemispheric dysfunction, multisensory perception and integration, and virtual reality applications and impacts.

The scientist's recent publications demonstrate a consistent engagement with key aspects of neuroscience and cognitive function. Notable papers include:

  • "Right Hemisphere Dominance for Unconscious Emotionally Salient Stimuli," 2021, Brain Sciences
  • "Behavioral and functional changes in neglect after multisensory stimulation," 2020, Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
  • "Fear-related signals are prioritised in visual, somatosensory and spatial systems," 2020, Neuropsychologia
  • "The spatial effect of fearful faces in the autonomic response," 2020, Experimental Brain Research
  • "The spatial logic of fear," 2020, Cognition

Frequent co-authors in their research include Giulia Ellena, Caterina Bertini, Francesca Starita, Patrick Haggard, and Simone Battaglia, reflecting collaborative work in overlapping areas of expertise.

Elisabetta Làdavas's publications are found predominantly in journals such as Neuropsychologia, Experimental Brain Research, Brain Sciences, Cognition, and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. These venues highlight the scientist's focus on the neural and behavioral aspects of psychology as well as neurorehabilitation.

The research topics covered reveal an emphasis on spatial neglect and hemispheric dysfunction, which appear in eight publications. Additional areas of interest encompass multisensory perception and integration, virtual reality applications and impacts, neural and behavioral psychology studies, olfactory and sensory function studies, visual perception and processing mechanisms, and face recognition and perception.

This distribution of work illustrates an interdisciplinary approach, combining elements from cognitive neuroscience and sensory systems to investigate complex behavioral and neural phenomena. The presence of multisensory integration and virtual reality in the research topics suggests an interest in applied and experimental methods for understanding brain function.
