About

Angelo Quartarone is a prominent Italian neurologist and clinical neurophysiologist whose research spans transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), neurorehabilitation, neuroplasticity, and the application of emerging technologies to neurological disorders. He is perhaps best known for his pivotal role in the landmark IFCN Expert Guidelines on TMS safety, a consensus document that has accumulated over 1,470 citations and serves as the gold standard reference for researchers and clinicians worldwide applying non-invasive brain stimulation across healthy and patient populations. Quartarone's broader research portfolio reflects a deep commitment to transforming rehabilitation for patients with stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and neuromuscular disorders. His work investigates how robotic rehabilitation, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and brain imaging can accelerate motor and cognitive recovery while illuminating the underlying mechanisms of neural plasticity. Particularly notable is his exploration of how functional neuroimaging can capture robotic therapy-induced brain reorganization following stroke, bridging clinical outcomes with neuroscientific understanding. More recently, Quartarone has extended his inquiry into human-robot interaction, examining empathy toward humanoid robots and the use of ICT-based tools for autism spectrum conditions. His consistently high citation impact demonstrates both the clinical relevance and broad international influence of his interdisciplinary contributions to modern neuroscience and rehabilitation medicine.
