Catarina Paulino obtained her degree in Clinical Psychology in 2005 (University of Algarve), D.E.A. in Experimental Psychology in 2009 (University of Seville) and PhD in Experimental Psychology in 2015 (University of Seville). Her research aims to understand the role of emotional valence in the processing of visual word recognition using EEG-ERP, Eye-Tracking, physiological measures, and advanced tools of brain source localization. Her scientific contribution includes over 20 papers, several as first author, in specialized international peer-reviewed journals, 1 book chapter, and communications at national and international conferences. She participated in national and international research projects and joined organizing committees of scientific events in Portugal and abroad. She co-supervised 1 master thesis in Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology and 1 BSc. research project in Biomedical Sciences.
