About
Marco Davare is a leading researcher in the neural control of skilled hand movements, with a particular focus on sensorimotor integration, predictive motor control, and the sense of agency. His work bridges fundamental motor neuroscience and clinical applications, especially in understanding how the brain predicts and adapts to sensory feedback during object manipulation. Davare’s most cited study (2014, 160 citations) revealed that patients with functional (psychogenic) movement disorders exhibit a loss of sensory attenuation—a key marker of the sense of agency—demonstrating that these involuntary movements are paradoxically linked to disrupted self-awareness of action. In another influential paper (2019, 39 citations), he showed that visual delays in virtual reality impair force scaling and weight perception during object lifting, highlighting the brain’s reliance on precise temporal predictions for dexterous manipulation. Davare’s work has significantly advanced our understanding of how the motor system integrates vision, touch, and prediction, with implications for rehabilitation in movement disorders and for designing more intuitive human-machine interfaces. His research is widely cited across cognitive neuroscience, clinical neurology, and robotics, making him a key figure in the study of human motor control.
