summaryLuca Bonini earned his degree in Psychology (2003) and the Ph.D. in Neuroscience (2008) at the University of Parma. After a short post-doc period at the University of Parma, he joined the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) from 2010 to 2016, when he was awarded an ERC starting grant and became Associate Professor of Psychobiology and Physiological Psychology at the University of Parma, Department of Medicine and Surgery. He authored several scientific publications, mostly focused on the neuronal mechanisms underlying motor, perceptual and cognitive functions of parietal and frontal cortical brain regions. In the last years, within previously funded EU projects and in close collaboration with other members of the Department, particularly professors Rizzolatti and Orban, as well as with the Department of Mycrosystems Engineering of the University of Freiburg, he contributed to reveal new functions and properties of motor and mirror neurons in the parietal and frontal cortex, as well as to the development of new technical solutions and devices for chronic recording of the activity of several individual neurons simultaneously. These latter innovations will contribute to refine neurophysiological research and constitute the necessary premises for the new field of investigation pioneered within the ongoing ERC projects (ERC StG Wireless, ERC PoC Future NHP, ERC CoG Emactive).
