Elvira Pirondini, PhD

  • Assistant Professor
  • Pronouns: she/her/hers

Dr. Pirondini primary research interests include the study of upper limb motor control strategies in humans and animal models, and neuroimaging tools for the design of innovative clinical approaches for rehabilitation in neural disorders. Specifically, she is interested on understanding neural and structural changes after stroke and correlating them with motor and proprioceptive impairments. For this, she combines robotic devices and advance signal processing techniques.

Research interests: Stroke, motor control, proprioception, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), biomarkers
