Stochastic and Mathematical Analysis, Research, and Testing for Emotion
Our mission
Research Lines
Stochastic Modelling
Using Markov chains, hidden-state models and large-scale simulations on longitudinal data to describe and predict individual emotion dynamics beyond static approaches.
Emotion Experiments
Designing immersive VR, 360° video and experience-sampling paradigms to capture real-time emotional experience, from physiological patterns to self-reports.
Testing & Tools
Building high-fidelity tests and virtual environments to elicit dynamic emotions and assess flexibility, regulation and awareness in ecological settings
Our Team
Prof. Pietro Cipresso
Lab Director
Associate Professor of Psychometrics at the University of Turin and Chief Editor of Frontiers in Quantitative Psychology and Measurement; he merges virtual-reality paradigms with computational psychophysiology to model and predict emotional states.
PhD Candidate Francesca Borghesi
Lab Manager
Psychometrics PhD researcher whose work on stochastic models of affect dynamics and mental flexibility bridges advanced statistics and emotion science.
Research Fellow Gloria Simoncini
Young esearcher developing VR-based digital biomarkers and longitudinal methods to link moment-to-moment affect dynamics with mental-health outcomes.
