The main research project concerns the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging in order to obtain information on the involvement of cortical and subcortical structures in tasks regarding different process of visuo-motor integration, coordinate transformation and fiber tracking. A second projects concerns the use of EEG technique in order to explore the brain surface during the preparation and execution of simple reaching task with and without perturbation of arm trajectory.

Piero Paolo Battaglini, MD, was born in Florence on July 14, 1951. He is full professor in Physiology at the University of Trieste, Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. He has more than twenty years of experience in the field of neuroanatomy (qualified in the histological treatment of thin slices of cerebral tissue, reconstruction of the anatomical structure, identification of neural projections both as fibres and as endings) as well as in the field of electrophysiology (recording of the bio-electrical activity of single cells, recording of eye movements, reconstruction of patterns of neural discharge), together with a well-established ability in dealing with non-human primates and training them in carrying out visuomotor tasks in rapid succession. In the recent years he has started a research project in humans, based on electroencephalographic, magnetic resonance and source analysis techniques. The project concerns the study of cortical and subcortical involvement in the preparation and execution of visually triggered reaching and grasping movements. |
