About

Jacopo Tessadori is a neuroscientist and neural engineer whose research sits at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and human-machine interaction. His work spans three interconnected domains: closed-loop neuro-robotic systems, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and embodiment in assistive technologies. Tessadori's most influential contribution — a 2012 paper with 82 citations — introduced a hybrid neuro-robotic architecture that coupled living neuronal cultures with robotic systems in real-time, advancing our understanding of how neuronal assemblies encode and process information. This line of work, further developed through multiple publications on closed-loop electrophysiology and in vitro neuronal networks, established foundational methods for probing computational properties of biological neural circuits. His research also addresses practical challenges in assistive robotics. He has explored EEG-based brain-machine interfaces, using electrophysiological signals — including error-related potentials and motor imagery — to enable intuitive robot control for individuals with motor disabilities. His 2021 work on spatially augmented biofeedback and virtual limb embodiment highlights his commitment to improving prosthetic acceptance through multisensory integration strategies. Collectively accumulating over 170 citations, Tessadori's body of work bridges fundamental neuroscience and translational engineering, making meaningful contributions to neuroprosthetics, shared autonomy systems, and our broader understanding of brain-environment interaction.
