Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alfonso Caramazza"
- Alfonso Caramazza's recent research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of visual perception, spatial attention, and how the brain recognizes and processes actions and objects through various neural representations, particularly in contexts of cognitive deficits such as neglect.
- His studies investigate a range of topics, including preserved recognition of visual features in individuals with spatial attention impairments, neural coding of motion events influenced by agentive actions, and the impact of motor simulation in action recognition under adverse conditions.
- Caramazza has highlighted the complexity of object and action recognition in the brain, emphasizing the importance of shape-centered representations, the influence of object properties (like size and manipulability), and the differential processing of animate versus inanimate entities in both sighted and blind individuals.
