About

Bianca Aragona is a leading researcher in cognitive neuroscience and neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on post-stroke cognitive recovery. Her work bridges the gap between clinical neurology and digital therapeutics, exploring how computerized cognitive training can restore executive function, memory, and attention in stroke survivors. Her most-cited paper, "Improving Cognitive Function in Patients with Stroke: Can Computerized Training Be the Future?" (2017, 110 citations), has become a foundational reference in the field, synthesizing evidence for technology-driven rehabilitation and shaping clinical guidelines. Aragona’s contributions extend beyond individual studies; she has been instrumental in designing adaptive training protocols that personalize interventions based on patients’ cognitive profiles. Her research demonstrates that structured, computer-based exercises can yield significant gains in neural plasticity and functional independence, offering a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional therapy. With her work cited by neurologists, rehabilitation specialists, and human-computer interaction researchers alike, Aragona is recognized for translating rigorous experimental findings into practical tools that improve quality of life for stroke patients. She continues to advocate for integrating digital assessments into standard post-stroke care, positioning her at the forefront of evidence-based neurotechnology.
