Mattia Rosso is a PhD student at IPEM (Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music), Ghent University (BE), under the supervision of Prof. Marc Leman and Prof. Pieter-Jan Maes. He holds a Master's degree in the interdisciplinary program Body and Mind Sciences at the University of  Turin (IT), where he wrote his thesis titled "The music as a framework, the musician as a model: inferences on the bodily self". 

Mattia's main research interests are human rhythmic behaviour and its neural bases, particularly during interpersonal coordination. In 2019, he joined MIB for a first research stay to learn about implementation and processing of dual-EEG recordings, under the supervision of MIB postdoc Ole Adrian Heggli and MIB professor Peter Vuust. In the meantime, he carried out his experiments on dyadic interactions at IPEM's Art Science and Interaction Lab. The goals of this second stay are the completion of a scientific publication on the results and training on the use of MEG, MRI and analysis techniques for source reconstruction. Long term, he intends to expand his findings by analysing the neural bases of interpersonal coordination at the source level.
