We are excited to share that our paper “A closed-loop platform for the embodiment of supernumerary robotic limbs during augmented tasks” by Iandoli M., Deiana D.,  Pinardi M., Noccaro A., Formica D. and Di Pino G. has been presented at IEEE EMBC 2025 in Copenhagen 🎉.

🧠✋ Why does the brain prefer the thumb-down/fingers-up hand posture? Our new TMS study reveals this configuration engages specific circuits between the premotor cortex and M1, boosting motor performance. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Neuroscience #TMS #MotorControl

📢 Excited to announce the 4th edition of #BayesHSC School, happening June 9–13, 2025 in beautiful Verona! 🎉with the patronage of @SIPFNC and @italianrepro 👉 Explore details here: sites.hss.univr.it/bayeshsc/ #Bayesian #RStats #BayesHSC2025

Mirroring Minds: How Brain Circuits Drive Imitative Behavior Recent research has identified specific neural circuits in the brain's motor system responsible for automatic and controlled imitative behavior, highlighting its fundamental role in social interaction and cohesion. Using advanced brain stimulation techniques, scientists discovered how different brain regions influence our ability to mimic others and control these impulses when necessary. This insight into the brain's mirror-like functions opens new therapeutic avenues for enhancing cognitive performance and treating social dysfunction disorders. The findings underscore the complexity of neural pathways involved in imitation, providing a clearer understanding of how we connect with others. 1/3

🎉 Excited to share our latest paper in @PNASNews! Our study delves into the brain's imitation mechanisms. We used network-based #TMS to reveal how specific premotor-motor pathways contribute to our automatic tendency to imitate others' actions 🧠pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…… #ccPAS

Yesterday I took part in an experiment investigating the effect of using a robotic arm on the peripersonal space.

Well done guys!!

@LorenzoDiaz87 presenting “Bone-anchored prosthesis and TMR: experience from the Campus Bio-Medico in Rome” @CampuBioMedico @next_roma @MaxOrtizCatalan

Great job Valeria!! @next_roma @Giovanni_DiPino @CampusBioMedico

With @ErmannoPapaleo ,@ValeriaPiombino, @Giovanni_DiPino, and many others from @CampusBioMedico, well done!!

@c_baccianti @paolomossetti Sono 1420 € netti euro più, euro meno.

@paolomossetti Esentasse, che penso significhi il beneficiario debba pagarsi la pensione. Correggetemi se sbaglio.

An Italian university is offering a 1-year research contract for 19,400 euros, post-doc preferred. That's actually a standard remuneration for this kind of contracts in Italy. No wonder you find so many Italian researchers outside of Italy.

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal imaging-neuroscience.org This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

Happy to share the first results of #MNESYS, just out in @NeuroImage_EiC We applied brain stimulation to strenghten connectivity from premotor to motor cortices via #Hebbian #plasticity and investigated local physiological changes over M1 #TMS #ccPAS bit.ly/3ZQYQJX

Hi, my first paper si out! We confirm that the elderly brain is less plastic than the young brain. @SoniaTurrini @antonio_cataneo @FioriFr @chiapponino Matteo Cadidi and @AAvenanti @ResearchGate: #fullTextFileContent" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">researchgate.net/publication/36…

Parliamo di ricerca e progresso ogni giorno però non si parla di ricercatori che ricevono stipendi da fame e che non raggiungono neanche il salario minimo.

@hgupta84 @hapyresearchers I’m practicing 😁

Undergrad --> PhD --> Postdoc --> PI --> bakery shop owner Who is thinking this academic path? #AcademicChatter @hapyresearchers
