    Research topics

    Dal Monte’s research focuses on understanding the neural substrates involved in complex social interactions. She addresses these questions utilizing interdisciplinary theoretical principles and behavioral, physiological, and electrophysiological measurements to complement and extend our understanding of how the brain computes social behaviors. Taking a multipronged approach, she aims to provide novel basic neuroscientific insights to better inform the mechanisms underlying social dysfunctions and, in the long run, to suggest novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.

     

    Specific Research Topics:

    • social decision-making
    • prosocial and antisocial behavior
    • interpersonal distance
    • social and affective touch
    • eye contact
    • social attention
