About
Athanasia Moungou is a neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of tactile perception and cortical neurophysiology, with a particular focus on how the brain processes touch during both active and passive exploration. Her major contributions center on developing novel electroencephalography (EEG) methodologies to characterize the neural underpinnings of tactile sensation. In her most cited work (13 citations), she introduced a method using steady-state evoked brain potentials (SS-EPs) to compare cortical responses during active versus passive touch, revealing distinct neural signatures for each mode. Her subsequent study (10 citations) extended this approach to passive touch alone, demonstrating how textured surfaces generate specific brain activity patterns. These studies are foundational for understanding sensorimotor integration and have implications for haptic technology and neurorehabilitation. By bridging psychophysics and electrophysiology, Moungou has provided a powerful tool for noninvasively probing the cortical dynamics of touch, establishing her as a key contributor to the field of somatosensory neuroscience.
