Research interests
Martyna’s research primarily explores complex cognitive processes with a special focus on social perception and communication challenges in developmental conditions. Her publications cover a range of topics from early cognitive development in infants to the physiological responses in autistic individuals during social interactions. Martyna’s research interest centre on uncovering patterns in gaze and face perception that inform broader clinical and educational strategies. Her studies on Williams syndrome and autism spectrum disorder investigate how social feedback, eye gaze and interactive behaviour contribute to learning and emotional understanding. Further, her work includes innovative methodological contributions in eye-tracking and psychophysiological measurements to better understand cognitive processing of social cues in children with specific neurodevelopmental profiles.
