About
F. Ferreri is a leading clinical neurophysiologist whose research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor integration, neuroplasticity, and brain-computer interfaces. His most cited work, a pioneering 2014 EEG-TMS co-registration study on a human amputee, demonstrated that a short-term intraneural implant for robotic hand control can modulate sensorimotor cortical integration. This landmark study, with over 50 citations, provided the first direct evidence that peripheral neural interfaces can reshape cortical dynamics in real time, offering a critical proof-of-concept for advanced prosthetic systems. Ferreri’s broader contributions include developing novel TMS-EEG protocols to probe cortical excitability and connectivity in neurological disorders, with his work collectively cited more than 1,500 times. He has also published influential studies on the role of GABAergic and glutamatergic circuits in motor learning and stroke recovery. A sought-after collaborator, Ferreri’s research bridges basic neuroscience and clinical application, making him a key figure in the development of closed-loop neuroprosthetics. His findings continue to inform the design of more intuitive, brain-responsive robotic limbs, directly impacting the lives of amputees and patients with motor impairments.
