About

Paolo Maria Rossini is a pioneering neuroscientist whose research bridges clinical neurophysiology, neuroprosthetics, and brain-machine interfaces, with transformative contributions to both fundamental neuroscience and assistive technology. He is perhaps best known for his leadership in establishing international safety standards for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), co-authoring expert guidelines that have accumulated over 1,470 citations and serve as the definitive reference for researchers and clinicians worldwide. Rossini has also been a trailblazer in the development of intraneural peripheral interfaces — implantable devices that connect directly with residual nerve stumps in amputees to enable bidirectional control of robotic prosthetic hands. His landmark 2010 study demonstrating a double intraneural implant in a human amputee (395 citations) marked a major milestone in restoring naturalistic sensorimotor function. Subsequent work explored sensory feedback encoding strategies, multisensory integration, and the cortical plasticity induced by such interfaces, combining EEG and TMS methodologies to illuminate how the brain adapts to neuroprosthetic communication. Collectively, his research has profoundly advanced the science of human-machine symbiosis, offering genuine hope for individuals living with limb loss.
