What to write to us about
Take part in a study
We run behavioural sessions in Rome and online: map tasks, route learning, virtual navigation and questionnaires. If you would like to be considered, tell us your age range and whether you often feel lost in familiar places.
Propose a collaboration
We work with laboratories, hospitals and companies on assessment tools, virtual reality environments and the study of navigational disorders. Send a short description of the project, the population you can reach and the timeline you have in mind.
Ask about topographical disorientation
If you, a family member or a patient gets lost in places that should be familiar, write to us describing what happens and since when. We can point you to the right reading, to our screening work and to specialist services in Rome.
Teaching, media and talks
We are glad to support lectures, popular-science events and journalistic pieces on human orientation, from the brain's inner compass to the lost art of reading a paper map.
Where we work
A note on privacy: this page asks for no personal data, so please mail us directly and avoid sending sensitive health information by email. If you would rather read about the condition first, our Italian page on developmental topographical disorientation explains what it is and how we study it.
