About
Corrado Sinigaglia is a leading philosopher and cognitive scientist whose work sits at the intersection of motor cognition, body representation, and the philosophy of neuroscience. His research fundamentally explores how the brain represents the body in action, particularly how tool use and artificial augmentation can reshape our most basic sense of our own physical form. A key contribution is demonstrating that using a tool does not merely extend our reach but can actually alter the metric representation of our body parts—changing how we perceive their size and shape. His highly innovative studies, including those on robotic additional thumbs, provide compelling evidence that the brain can rapidly integrate artificial limbs into its motor control system, generating new corticospinal synergies. This work has profound implications for neurorehabilitation and human-machine interfaces. With papers accruing over 20 citations each in this cutting-edge field, Sinigaglia’s research bridges high-level philosophical questions about selfhood with empirical neuroscience, establishing him as a pivotal figure in understanding the plastic, action-driven nature of body representation.
