About

Claudio Bertolotti’s research lies at the intersection of interoception, motor control, and cognitive neuroscience, with a particular focus on how awareness of internal bodily signals—such as heartbeat—shapes our ability to maintain balance and coordinate movement. In his most-cited work, “Exploring the relationship between cardiac awareness and balance” (2024, 3 citations), Bertolotti investigates the hypothesis that perception of autonomic signals, like cardiac awareness, may influence postural stability. By bridging the gap between interoceptive processes and motor behavior, his research offers novel insights into the neural mechanisms underlying balance, with potential applications in rehabilitation and fall prevention. Though early in his career, Bertolotti’s work is already contributing to a growing body of evidence linking visceral perception to motor control. His findings challenge traditional views of balance as purely exteroceptive or proprioceptive, opening new avenues for understanding how the brain integrates signals from the body’s interior to guide action. For students and researchers exploring the embodied mind, Bertolotti’s research represents a compelling frontier.
