About
Alessandro Farnè is a leading cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of multisensory integration, body representation, and social cognition. His work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of how the brain constructs the sense of self and interacts with the external world. Farnè is particularly renowned for exploring how bodily illusions and tool use can reshape our perception of space and agency, with profound implications for neurorehabilitation and human-robot interaction. In a highly cited 2019 study (44 citations), he demonstrated that embodying a robot through multisensory stimulation significantly increases its social acceptability, a breakthrough that bridges neuroscience and robotics. His broader contributions, spanning over two decades, have garnered thousands of citations, establishing him as a pivotal figure in the field. Farnè’s work not only advances fundamental science but also informs practical applications, from prosthetics to virtual reality, making him an influential voice for students and researchers alike.
