Research

Lina is interested in intercultural and interdisciplinary initiatives that integrate art and science as tools for interpersonal connection.

Her research focuses on exploring how people coordinate and communicate through movement and dance, and on understanding how individual and cultural factors shape this experience at both aesthetic and social levels, with a particular emphasis on neuroaesthetics.
