Emanuela De Falco

I am a physicist by training, and I have been a researcher in the neuroscience field since 2014.  During my neuroscience training, I worked with intracranial recordings from patients suffering from epilepsy. Here, I investigated declarative memory and the encoding of concepts in the human medial temporal lobes. Afterwards, I spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher working on high-density electrophysiological recordings from the medial prefrontal cortex of rodents and investigating neuronal population dynamics underlying complex behaviors.I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and a member of the Laboratory of Congitive Neuroscience (LNCO). My current research projects are centered around the investigation of the neural basis of bodily self-consciousness and its link to cognitive processes.
