About
Simone Tanzarella is a leading researcher in motor neuroscience and human-machine interaction, with a particular focus on the sensorimotor integration of the upper limb. Her work bridges the gap between fundamental motor control research and applied neuroprosthetics, emphasizing the critical role of tactile feedback in movement. Tanzarella’s most notable contribution is the creation of the "Reach & Grasp" dataset, a pioneering multimodal resource that simultaneously captures kinematic, electrophysiological, and tactile data from the whole upper limb during both simple and complex movements. This dataset, already cited 9 times since its 2025 publication, provides an unprecedented foundation for developing more intuitive active prostheses and for advancing our understanding of how the nervous system coordinates reach and grasp actions. By integrating tactile information with traditional motor signals, Tanzarella’s work is reshaping how researchers characterize upper-limb function, offering new pathways for restoring natural movement in individuals with limb loss or neurological injury. Her research stands at the intersection of data-driven science and clinical translation, making her a key figure in the future of bionic rehabilitation.
