About

Dr. Liverana Lauretti is a leading neuroscientist specializing in the neuroplasticity of sensorimotor systems, with a particular focus on the brain’s adaptation to advanced prosthetic technologies. Her most-cited work, "Brain reactions to the use of sensorized hand prosthesis in amputees" (2020, 10 citations), represents a groundbreaking investigation into how prolonged training with a bidirectional hand prosthesis induces chronic functional reorganization in sensorimotor brain areas. By employing a multimodal approach combining neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques, Dr. Lauretti provided the first direct evidence of long-term cortical plasticity in response to sensory feedback from a prosthetic limb. This work has profound implications for neurorehabilitation and the design of next-generation prosthetics, bridging the gap between neural engineering and clinical practice. Her research not only advances our understanding of brain-machine interfaces but also offers hope for improved quality of life in amputees. Dr. Lauretti’s contributions are pivotal in shaping how we harness the brain’s inherent adaptability to restore lost function, making her a key figure in the field of neuroprosthetics.
