About
Dr. Agata Bulloni is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation engineering, with a focus on integrating robotic assistance and neuroimaging to understand and enhance motor recovery after neurological injury. Her work centers on the cortical mechanisms underlying robot-assisted gait training, particularly in young patients with neurological conditions. In her pivotal 2021 pilot fNIRS study, Dr. Bulloni demonstrated that walking with the Andago—a robot providing body-weight support during over-ground gait—significantly activates the prefrontal cortex and supplementary motor area. This finding, which has garnered 14 citations, provides critical evidence that such devices impose high cognitive demands, offering a novel framework for designing rehabilitation protocols that target both motor and executive function networks. By linking specific robotic interventions to measurable neuroplastic changes, Dr. Bulloni’s research bridges the gap between engineering and clinical neuroscience, paving the way for more effective, personalized therapies. Her work is instrumental for students and researchers seeking to understand how technology can be harnessed to promote long-term functional recovery after brain injury.
