Manuela Filippa, Ph.D., is an independent researcher.
She collaborates with a number of Universities and Research
Centers. Dr. Filippa has a rich and varied experience in the field
of early musical interventions with infants and parents. Her
research activity focuses mainly on bio-behavioral effects of
singing on preterm and newborn infants, early vocal contact,
non-verbal vocal communication abilities and ontogenesis of musical
experiences.
