Irene Sperandio graduated from the University of Padova and received her doctoral degree in Psychology from the University of Verona, examining size constancy and visual illusions under the supervision of Prof.s Carlo A. Marzi and Silvia Savazzi. After her PhD, she spent three years working as a post-doctoral fellow under the supervision of Prof. Melvyn Goodale at the Brain and Mind Institute at the University of Western Ontario (Canada), where she combined psychophysics and fMRI to investigate the neural correlates of visual perception and expanded her research to sensory-motor control using visual psychophysics, eye movement and kinematic recordings. In December 2012, she was appointed to her first faculty position as a lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of East Anglia (UK), where she stayed for seven years. She is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science at the University of Trento (Italy).
