Dr. Ortu runs the Neurobehavioral Laboratory, equipped with a Brain Vision EEG data collection system with high density 128 electrodes, and also a 15 channels Emotiv wireless system. The Neurobehavioral EEG primary interests are real-time measures of brain activity, specifically Electroencephalography and Event-Related Potentials and how they relate to a Skinnerian perspective. Conceptually, Dr. Ortu is involved in understanding how brain responses can help provide some missing pieces of the puzzle when it comes to comprehending complex behavior. Daniele is in the editorial board of the Journal for the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, Behavior and Social issues, Behavior and Philosophy, and is a Guest Editor for Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
