About
Francesco Neri is a leading researcher in the fields of sensorimotor neuroscience, human augmentation, and brain-machine interfaces. His work explores how the human brain adapts to artificial body parts, particularly robotic appendages, and how these adaptations reshape neural control of movement. Neri’s most cited study, “Emerging of new bioartificial corticospinal motor synergies using a robotic additional thumb” (2021, 20 citations), provides groundbreaking neurophysiological evidence that using a robotic sixth finger fundamentally alters corticospinal motor synergies during grasping actions. This work challenges long-held assumptions about the fixed nature of motor control and opens new avenues for designing intuitive prosthetics and augmentation devices. By demonstrating that the brain can reorganize its motor commands to incorporate artificial limbs, Neri has made pivotal contributions to the development of next-generation neuroprosthetics. His research has been cited in top neuroscience and robotics journals, and he is recognized for bridging the gap between basic motor control science and applied human augmentation technologies. Neri’s findings hold profound implications for rehabilitation, assistive robotics, and the future of human-machine integration.
