About
Chiara F. Tagliabue is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research explores the fascinating intersection of human perception, action, and technology. Her key work investigates how the brain integrates sensory information from different modalities—particularly vision and touch—to create a coherent sense of body ownership and agency, especially when interacting with artificial limbs or robotic tools. Her most-cited paper, "Crossmodal representation of a functional robotic hand arises after extensive training in healthy participants" (2013, 35 citations), demonstrates that through prolonged, active training, healthy individuals can develop a functional, crossmodal representation of a robotic hand as part of their own body schema. This seminal contribution provides critical insights into neuroplasticity and the mechanisms underlying prosthetic embodiment, with implications for rehabilitation and human-robot interaction. Tagliabue’s work has been influential in advancing our understanding of how the brain adapts to new tools and technologies, bridging cognitive science and applied robotics. Her research continues to inspire students and researchers in fields ranging from sensorimotor neuroscience to neuroengineering.
