About

Luca Rossini is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neuroprosthetics, neural engineering, and brain-machine interfaces, whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of prosthetic limb control and sensory feedback restoration. His most celebrated contribution, the landmark 2010 study on double nerve intraneural interface implantation in a human amputee — now amassed over 395 citations — demonstrated for the first time that robotic hand prostheses could be controlled through direct peripheral nerve interfaces while simultaneously delivering meaningful sensory feedback to the user. This groundbreaking work opened a transformative path toward truly bidirectional prosthetic systems. Rossini's research consistently explores how residual neural pathways in amputees can be harnessed through intraneural multielectrode implants, showing that cortical and peripheral connections remain functionally viable long after amputation. His studies combining electroencephalography (EEG) with electroneurography (ENG) signals reflect a sophisticated systems-level approach to building more robust and naturalistic neural interfaces. He has also extended his thinking to unconventional applications, including brain-machine interface technologies for astronaut enhancement in space environments. Through clinical implantation studies and innovative multichannel electrode designs, Rossini has helped lay the scientific and translational foundation for next-generation prosthetics that restore not only movement but sensation — profoundly impacting rehabilitation medicine and neural engineering.
