About
S. Tognazzi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and surgical technology, whose work illuminates the neural dynamics underlying human-robot interaction. Her most-cited study, "How does a surgeon’s brain buzz? An EEG coherence study on the interaction between humans and robot" (2013, 18 citations), represents a landmark investigation into the functional coupling of motor areas during robotic-assisted surgery. By employing EEG coherence analysis, Tognazzi provided the first empirical evidence of how a surgeon's brain adapts its neural oscillations when operating with robotic systems, revealing distinct patterns of cortical synchronization that differ from traditional manual techniques. This foundational work has significant implications for optimizing surgical training protocols and designing more intuitive robotic interfaces. Her research bridges the gap between clinical practice and fundamental motor neuroscience, offering critical insights into the brain's plasticity when integrating with advanced technologies. Tognazzi’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring neuroergonomics, brain-computer interfaces, and the cognitive demands of modern surgery, establishing her as a key voice in understanding how human neural systems collaborate with robotic partners.
