Overview

Roberto Caldara is affiliated with the University of Fribourg in Switzerland. Their research primarily explores the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a focus on cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology. The work also intersects with computer vision and pattern recognition, social psychology, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

Their research topics cover a variety of aspects related to perception and cognition, including face recognition and perception, face recognition and analysis, evolutionary psychology and human behavior, multisensory perception and integration, visual perception and processing mechanisms, visual attention and saliency detection, and neural dynamics and brain function.
