About
Paolo Belardinelli is a leading researcher in the neurophysiology of motor control and brain stimulation, with a particular focus on stroke recovery and the methodological rigor of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG). His most cited work, a 2019 study on reproducibility in TMS-EEG (152 citations), has been pivotal in calling for standardized procedures, effective experimental controls, and open data sharing to address inherent ambiguities in the field—a contribution that has shaped best practices globally. Belardinelli has also made significant strides in understanding neural plasticity after severe stroke. His 2017 study (91 citations) demonstrated that premotor cortico-muscular coherence can be modulated even in patients with hand paralysis, revealing a potential biomarker for motor recovery and guiding future rehabilitation strategies. More recently, his work on oscillatory entrainment during motor imagery and neurofeedback (2019, 19 citations) has explored how handedness influences cortical network dynamics, offering insights into personalized brain-computer interfaces. With a career dedicated to bridging fundamental neuroscience and clinical application, Belardinelli’s research continues to inform both the design of rigorous neurostimulation experiments and the development of targeted therapies for motor impairment.
