Camila Dias completed her Master's in Biomedical Engineering in 2018 at the NOVA School of Science and Technology (FCT NOVA). Since 2019, she has been researching the neural signatures of error monitoring using electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at the Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT). In 2020, she enrolled in the Biomedical Engineering Ph.D. at the University of Coimbra. In her Ph.D. project, she studies the interplay between error-monitoring and learning mechanisms in autism.
