Academic profile  

I was born and educated in Parma. I took my MD and Degree in Neurology at the School of Medicine of the University of Parma, Italy. I am Full Professor of Physiology at the Dept. of Neuroscience of the School of Medicine of the University of Parma. I am the Coordinator of the PhD Program in Neuroscience of the University of Parma.

I worked at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, at the Nihon University of Tokyo, Japan, and at the University of California at Berkeley, USA. In 2002 I was Visiting Professor at the Brain and Mind Institute of the University of Berkeley.

I am member of the Italian Society of Physiology, of the Italian Society of Neuropsychology, of the European Brain and Behavior Society, of the International Neuropsychological Symposium, and of the Scientific Committee of the Fondation Fyssen, Paris, France.

Research Interests  

My major research interest lies in the relationship between action perception and cognition, using a variety of neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques.

I am also interested in developing an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of the embodied bases of intersubjectivity and social cognition.

I have published about 100 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and edited books.

 
Research Areas  

Neurophysiology

The current research projects concern:

  1. The study of the neural correlates of social cognition by means of microstimulation and single neurons recording from the macaque monkey insula.
  2. The investigation of the neurophysiological mechanisms at the basis of visuo-tactile mirroring and affective touch by means of single neurons recording from the macaque monkey SII and posterior Insula.

Research Team

- Fausto Caruana
- Luca Fornia
- Hiroaki Ishida
- Ahmad Jezzini
- Beatrice Sbriscia Fioretti
- Maria Alessandra Umiltà

 

Cognitive Neuroscience

The current research project concerns:

  1. The study of the phylogeny of intentional behavior in non-human primates, and of its ontogeny in normal and autistic children.
  2. The study of the mechanisms enabling the human capacity to understand the emotions and sensations of others and of how these capacities may be altered in autism and schizophrenia.
  3. The study of the role of the sensory-motor system in the understanding of language.
  4. The study of the neural correlates of aesthetic experience.
