Dr. Albonico's teaching interested include brain and behaviour, neuropsychology, sensation, perception, drugs and behaviour, statistics, research methods, introduction to psychology.
Dr. Albonico's research focuses on two main areas of visual perception: (i) the relationship between visual crowding and attention, and their impact on reading and reading disorders, and (ii) face processing in typically developed individuals and in individuals with prosopagnosia, which is the inability to recognize the identity of faces.
