About
Martina Marinelli’s research lies at the intersection of brain–machine interfaces (BMIs), neurorehabilitation robotics, and space applications. Her most influential work, “Defining brain–machine interface applications by matching interface performance with device requirements” (2007, 81 citations), established a foundational framework for aligning BMI capabilities with real-world device demands—a critical step for translating neural control into practical assistive technologies. She extended this vision to aerospace, exploring how BMI performance can be tailored for space missions (2009, 5 citations), highlighting her interdisciplinary reach. In neurorehabilitation, Marinelli contributed design principles for upper-limb exoskeletons (2005, 4 citations), emphasizing patient-driven therapy to improve motor recovery. Her work bridges engineering and clinical needs, offering systematic approaches to enhance robotic therapy effectiveness. Though her citation counts reflect a focused, early-career impact, Marinelli’s contributions are notable for their conceptual rigor and forward-looking applications—particularly in defining performance thresholds for BMIs and pioneering rehabilitation robotics design rules. Her research continues to inspire engineers and clinicians working at the nexus of neural interfaces, assistive robotics, and human–machine collaboration.
