Paolo Capotosto is a researcher at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at UdA. He has been working to understand the neural basis of cognition using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), combined with EEG (online) and MEG (offline). In particular, he uses an on-line repetitive TMS to causally interfere with brain regions and pathways that are integral for processing, using an individualized approach in which stimulated regions are identified based on functional imaging in each participant. | |
Cosimo Del Gratta is full professor of Physics at the Gabriele D’Annunzio University in Chieti-Pescara since 2010. He teaches basic Physics in Pharmacology, and in other life science courses, and functional MRI in the PhD course in Neuroscience and Imaging. He has worked on instrumentation for biomagnetism, and in the modelling and analysis of magnetoencephalography and EEG signals. At present he works in methods and applications of fMRI data analysis. His other research interests are modelling for diffusion MRI, and multimodal integration of brain imaging data. | |
Stefania Della Penna is an associate professor at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at UdA. Her experience ranges from the implementation of biomedical instrumentation to its applications. Specifically, she works on the design and implementation of superconducting instrumentation for biomagnetism and has actively participated in the development of the MEG system operating at ITAB, the small-scale VLF-MRI system installed in the MSR at ITAB, the MCG system and liver susceptometry prototype previously operating at the same site. She also works in MEG applications, in the design and implementation of methods for the analysis of large scale communication in the resting brain, and in multimodal imaging within a multidisciplinary team. | |
Sara Spadone is a research associate at the Gabriele D'Annunzio University in Chieti-Pescara. Since 2009 she is experienced in signal analysis and classification, with a specific interest in MEG, fMRI and TMS and their multimodal integration. She was in the forefront of studies using cutting edge methods to extract spatial, temporal and spectral information from MEG/EEG data, through the analysis of the evoked signal, the power modulations and interactions at the channel and source level. | |
Ingo Hilschenz, is a PostDoc at the University Gabriele D’Annunzio University in Chieti-Pescara. Since 2008 his main focus is Ultra Low to Low field NMR/MRI. He built multiple NMR/MRI prototype systems, applying either different NMR techniques or implementing new sensors. I worked both with SQUID sensors and Optically Magnetic Pumped Magnetometers, where the latter poses additional challenges to work for MRI/NMR. He’s also involved with MEG measurements, either as subject and/or helping with the hardware implementation or programming (data acquisition, timing,... ) but never primarily. | |
Vittorio Pizzella is full professor of physics since 2006 at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at UdA. Throughout his scientific career, his main research interest has been the development of superconducting instrumentation for the detection of biomagnetic fields, as well as the development of new data analysis techniques to obtain better estimates of the cerebral activity from MEG. His interest includes also brain imaging, including the study of brain connectivity, and, more generally, neurophysiology. |
