About
Dr. Sara M. Romanella is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and human augmentation. Her work fundamentally explores how the brain adapts to and integrates artificial body parts, with a focus on corticospinal motor synergies and neuroplasticity. In her landmark 2021 study, "Emerging of new bioartificial corticospinal motor synergies using a robotic additional thumb," she provided the first direct neurophysiological evidence that using a robotic sixth finger reshapes the brain’s motor control strategies—a finding with profound implications for neurorehabilitation and human enhancement. This work, which has garnered 20 citations, demonstrates her ability to bridge theoretical questions with empirical rigor. Dr. Romanella’s research not only advances our understanding of brain-machine interfaces but also opens new pathways for designing assistive technologies that seamlessly integrate with the human nervous system. Her contributions are shaping the future of bioartificial limbs and adaptive robotics, making her a leading voice in the emerging field of human augmentation.
