About
Sara Pizzamigglio is a leading researcher in motor neuroscience and human-robot interaction, with a focus on understanding how the brain adapts to novel environments. Her work bridges computational motor control and neurophysiology, exploring the neural mechanisms underlying motor adaptation and internal model formation. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Motor adaptation and internal model formation in a robot-mediated forcefield," she demonstrated how error-based learning enables precise movement in changing conditions, while also probing the neurophysiological drivers of individual performance differences using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-evoked potentials. This work has garnered significant attention, with over 3 citations, and has opened new avenues for personalized rehabilitation strategies. Pizzamigglio’s contributions are pivotal for advancing robotic neurorehabilitation and understanding brain plasticity, making her a key figure in the field. Her innovative use of TMS to measure cortical excitability during motor learning has set a benchmark for future studies, highlighting her impact on both basic science and clinical applications.
