About
Monica Fabiani is a pioneering cognitive neuroscientist whose research bridges the boundaries of brain function, aging, and neuroimaging technology. Her work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of how the brain supports cognition across the lifespan, with a particular focus on the neural mechanisms underlying memory, attention, and executive control. Fabiani is perhaps best known for her groundbreaking contributions to the development of large-area, MRI-compatible epidermal electronic interfaces, a transformative innovation detailed in her highly cited 2019 paper (393 citations). This work enables simultaneous prosthetic control and cognitive monitoring, opening new frontiers for brain-computer interfaces and clinical neuroscience. Her research integrates electrophysiology, optical imaging, and structural MRI to map the dynamic interplay between brain health, vascular integrity, and cognitive decline in aging. With over 15,000 citations, Fabiani’s impact is profound: she has not only elucidated how the brain compensates for age-related changes but also pioneered non-invasive tools that make neuroimaging more accessible and ecologically valid. Her achievements include numerous NIH grants, leadership roles in professional societies, and a reputation for mentoring the next generation of scientists. For students and researchers, Fabiani’s work exemplifies how rigorous, interdisciplinary science can unravel the complexities of the aging mind while creating technologies that improve human life.
