MECHANISMS AND MANIFESTATIONS IN MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN: Psychophysical and Neurophysiological Effects, from Experimental to Clinical Pain Settings
June 13, 2025
Abstract Chronic musculoskeletal pain is highly prevalent but still the underlying pain mechanisms remain poorly understood, and current treatments are largely ineffective. Accumulating evidence suggests that the sensorimotor system undergoes… Read More from MECHANISMS AND MANIFESTATIONS IN MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN: Psychophysical and Neurophysiological Effects, from Experimental to Clinical Pain Settings

Body and space: interactions in memory and shared mechanisms.
May 28, 2025
The body anchors the self to a certain spatial location. This raises the possibility that perception of the body and perception of space may interact. I will address this question… Read More from Body and space: interactions in memory and shared mechanisms.

Seeing by Moving: The Inseparable Link Between Perception and Action
May 12, 2025
This talk explores how the human visual system constructs spatial representations. Unlike other sensory modalities, where spatial information must be inferred from incoming signals, vision begins with a sophisticated imaging… Read More from Seeing by Moving: The Inseparable Link Between Perception and Action

Competition Between Predictive Processes and Prefrontal Cortex Functions: From Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation to Local Sleep
April 2, 2025
Human learning and predictive processing rely on multiple cognitive systems associated with distinct brain structures. These systems do not always cooperate; they sometimes compete to optimize performance. Research suggests that… Read More from Competition Between Predictive Processes and Prefrontal Cortex Functions: From Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation to Local Sleep
