About me

Carlo Bagnato received his BSc in Bioengineering from Polytechnic of Turin, and his MSc in Neuroengineering and Cognitive Sciences from University of Genoa. He attained a PhD under the supervision of Professor Etienne Burdet at the Human Robotics Group.

He conducted behavioral studies to gain insight into: 
- Human motor responses to discomfort and pain;
- Effect of reward and punishment on human learning;
- Human-human interaction.

Other interests included social psychology, behavioural economics, neuromarketing, user experience and consumer behaviour.
