Furthermore, she collaborates in research projects concerning Cross-cultural Neuropsychology with the Neuropsychology lab at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, as well in the Valera Lab at Harvard University.
He has developed his research career in the field of neuroimaging, designing and carrying out studies using mainly Magnetic Resonance techniques, including functional MRI analysis and functional and structural connectivity. These studies have contributed to a better understanding of diverse social problems such as obesity, drug addiction and intimate partner violence.
Her training centers on Complex Post-traumatic Stress in interpersonal violence victims and survivors. Further, she is a part of the International Consortium Trauma and an active collaborator in the G-Stress.
His main research interests lie within Cross-cultural Neuropsychology and the brain-culture relationship. He collaborates in the validation and adaptation of a cross-cultural neuropsychological battery for its application in different countries, as well as with female survivors of intimate partner violence.
Her principle line of research lies within Neuropsychology, victims of abuse, and judiciary implications. Since 2010, she has been involved in Forensic Neuropsychology through criminal, civil, social and family proceedings, intervening mostly in criminal and intimate partner cases.
Ha publicado más de una treintena de artículos nacionales e internacionales y tiene más de 100 presentaciones en congresos de carácter nacional e internacional.
