Michele Rucci

Michele Rucci is a researcher leading the Active Perception Laboratory, focusing on integrating experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate visual perception and its relationship with motor behavior. His work explores computational mechanisms of vision, particularly the role of eye movements in spatial encoding, and their implications for visual impairments. He develops advanced systems for gaze-tracking, visual display technologies, and brain-inspired robotics.

Research interests include the interplay between sensory processing and motor control, oculomotor strategies in visual tasks, and the application of findings to biomedical engineering and machine vision systems. His studies have revealed precise oculomotor control mechanisms and their impact on visual acuity, as well as novel insights into foveal anatomy and retinal processing.

Current projects involve high-resolution eye-tracking technologies, the dynamics of visual sensitivity across the fovea, and the cognitive influences on fixational eye movements. The laboratory actively recruits pre- and post-doctoral researchers to contribute to these interdisciplinary efforts.
