The BRAIN and the HAND are TWO OF THE MOST COMPLEX ORGANS OF THE HUMAN BODY
Our aim is to increase our knowledge about the mechanisms
underlying their synergic interaction.

Daniele Sili - Research Fellow
Daniele received his master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Sapienza University of Roma. His research activity is focused on computational methods of fMRI data analysis to study the human brain function in resting-state. His skills include preprocessing fMRI data, statistical analysis models, univariate and multivariate methods of analysis, brain connectivity, and machine learning. He is able to program in Matlab, Python, and in Unix systems (Bash).

Francesca Leone - Research Fellow
Francesca is a bioengineer Ph.D. in Science and Engineering for Humans and the Environment at the University Campus Bio-Medico of Rome. Her background focuses on physiological data analysis and the development of machine learning algorithms based on superficial electromyographic (sEMG) signals for the intuitive and fluid control of multiple degrees of freedom upper-limb prostheses.
Currently, she is part of HANDmade, an ERC-funded project. She develops PR-based novel solutions to merge EMG signals and virtual reality, to control the naturalistic interaction with the virtual environment.
