About
Dr. Viviana Betti is a leading researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and biomedical engineering, whose work bridges the gap between brain function and practical human-machine interaction. Her primary research areas include sensorimotor integration, spontaneous brain activity, and the development of low-cost, accessible technologies for gesture recognition. Dr. Betti’s most impactful contribution is the creation of inkjet-printed, fully customizable electrode matrices for surface electromyography (sEMG), a breakthrough that enables affordable, high-performance gesture recognition for prosthetics and rehabilitation devices—a paper that has garnered 15 citations and is rapidly shaping the field. In parallel, her pioneering studies on the visual representation of the hand in resting somatomotor regions of the brain (with 6 and 3 citations across two publications) have revealed how hand visibility influences motor control and perception, even in the absence of active tasks. This work challenges traditional views of resting-state brain activity and offers new insights into sensorimotor integration. Dr. Betti’s innovative combination of low-cost hardware design with fundamental neuroscience positions her as a unique voice, advancing both theoretical understanding and practical applications in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology.
