About
Dr. Irene Del Chicca is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and robotic surgery. Her primary research areas include the assessment of mental workload (MWL) and stress through electroencephalographic (EEG) signal processing, with a strong focus on improving human performance in high-stakes medical environments. Her most notable contribution is the development of an adaptive, multi-stage pipeline—integrating feature extraction, selection, and classification—for real-time EEG-based stress assessment during robot-assisted surgery. This work, published in 2024, stands out for its innovative approach to capturing cognitive load in surgical trainees, a critical step toward enhancing patient safety and surgeon well-being. While her citation count is still growing, her research has already garnered attention for its practical implications in surgical training and human-robot interaction. Dr. Del Chicca’s work is distinguished by its methodological rigor and its potential to transform how we monitor and mitigate mental fatigue in complex, technology-driven tasks. Her contributions are paving the way for safer, more efficient surgical practices.
