About
Roberto Romanello investigates the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration and prosthetic embodiment, with a focus on how the brain adapts to advanced bidirectional hand prostheses. His landmark study, "Brain reactions to the use of sensorized hand prosthesis in amputees" (2020, 10 citations), pioneered the multimodal neurophysiological and neuroimaging assessment of chronic functional reorganization in sensorimotor brain areas following prolonged training with sensorized prostheses. This work provided the first evidence of long-term neuroplastic changes induced by bidirectional prosthetic use, bridging gaps between neurorehabilitation and brain-computer interfaces. Romanello’s research has significant implications for improving prosthetic design and rehabilitation protocols, offering insights into how the brain integrates artificial sensory feedback. His contributions have been recognized for advancing the understanding of cortical plasticity in amputees, laying groundwork for future innovations in neuroprosthetics.
