About
Laure Pisella is a leading neuroscientist whose research bridges human cognition, motor control, and neurorehabilitation. Her work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of how the brain processes visual and spatial information to guide action, particularly in patients with optic ataxia and other visuomotor deficits. Pisella’s major contributions include elucidating the dual-stream model of visual processing—distinguishing between perception-for-identification and vision-for-action—and demonstrating how specific parietal lesions disrupt reaching and grasping. Her studies have been pivotal in characterizing the functional roles of the posterior parietal cortex, influencing both theoretical frameworks and clinical approaches. With over 4,000 citations to her most influential papers, Pisella’s impact is profound. She has also advanced neurorehabilitation by critically examining the integration of technology with humanistic principles, ensuring that innovation serves patient-centered care. Her notable achievements include pioneering work on the “automatic pilot” in visuomotor control and co-authoring seminal papers that remain essential reading in cognitive neuroscience. Pisella’s research continues to inspire students and clinicians alike, offering deep insights into brain plasticity and recovery.
