Daniele Ortu is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Behavior Analysis at the
University of North Texas, where he teaches Verbal Behavior and Behavioral Neuroscience. He
received his M.A. from AILUN in Nuoro (Italy), studying Behavior Analysis and OBM.
Subsequently he moved to Northampton, Smith College, where he studied Verbal Behavior with
Dave Palmer. During his time at Smith College Daniele got interested in moment-to-moment
measures of behavior and brain activity to get a better understanding of puzzling behavioral
phenomena. After two years at the University of North Texas carrying out cultural and
neuroscientific research under Sigrid Glenn’s supervision, Daniele earned his Ph.D. from the
University of Stirling (United Kingdom) studying EEG and Event related Potentials. His primary
interest is selectionism applied at the behavioral, cultural and neural levels of analyses. In his
Neurobehavioral EEG Laboratory he investigates real time measures of brain activity,
specifically Electroencephalography and Event Related Potentials, and how they relate to a
Skinnerian perspective.
