I got my Msc. in Psychology at the National University of Córdoba (UNC-Argentina). Currently I'm a PhD student with a scholarship from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council of Argentina (CONICET), studying consciousness, perceptual decision making and metacognition. I have experience in data analysis, programming (R, Python and Matlab) and teaching (Experimental Psychobiology and Neurophysiology and Psychophysiology - Psychology School - UNC). I'm interested in the approach proposed by cognitive sciences, neurosciences and computational sciences to human cognition, as well as the philosophical discussions associated with the mind-body problem.
