About

Angelo Sassaroli is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomedical optics and functional brain imaging, with a particular focus on diffuse optical tomography (DOT) and its applications in cognitive neuroscience. His major contributions include advancing the use of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to non-invasively monitor brain activity, notably through the development of the "Brainput" system (2012, 85 citations), which learns to identify brain activity patterns during multitasking and provides a continuous, supplemental input stream to interactive human-robot systems. This work bridges neuroimaging and human-computer interaction, demonstrating how real-time brain monitoring can enhance adaptive behavior in robotic systems. With over 2,500 total citations, Sassaroli's research has significantly impacted the understanding of cerebral hemodynamics and the practical deployment of optical imaging in clinical and cognitive settings. His notable achievements include pioneering studies on the statistical properties of NIRS signals and their correlation with functional brain states, as well as contributions to the development of wearable brain monitoring technologies. His work continues to inspire new directions in non-invasive neuroimaging and its integration with artificial intelligence.
