Federico Bongiorno

Research group: LanCog

I am an FCT Junior Researcher at the University of Lisbon.
 

My core areas of research lie at the interface of philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and the philosophy of psychiatry. Much of my work focuses on the status and origins of delusions. I am also interested in evidence-responsiveness and the mechanisms behind belief fixation and change.
 

Before coming to Lisbon, I was a postdoc at the University of Oxford, funded by an award from the Mind Association. Before that, I completed my PhD at the University of Birmingham in 2020 under the supervision of Lisa Bortolotti. In the spring of 2019, I was a visiting scholar at Yale collaborating with Phil Corlett on research into Bayesian models of psychosis. I hold a BA and MA in philosophy from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University in Milan, and a second MA in philosophy from Durham University.
