Antonino Errante

Antonino Errante is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Parma, Italy, with a focus on neural mechanisms underlying action imitation, motor learning, and motor recovery in brain-injured patients. He holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Parma (2017) and a Master’s in Clinical Neuropsychology (European University of Rome, 2015). His academic affiliation includes a Research Fellow position at the Neuroradiology Unit of Parma University Hospital and an Adjunct Professor role at the University of Parma, where he teaches Research Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience.

• Ph.D. in Neuroscience (2014–2017), University of Parma
• Master’s in Psychology (2011–2013), University of Messina
• Bachelor’s in Psychological Science (2008–2011), University of Messina
• Post-Graduate Psychotherapy Training (2022)

Errante’s research spans cognitive neuroscience, motor rehabilitation, and neuroimaging, particularly leveraging fMRI to study mirror neuron system activation in clinical populations (e.g., Moebius Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, Cerebral Palsy). Recent work explores action observation therapy for motor recovery and structural brain connectivity in bodily awareness disorders.

His publications highlight interdisciplinary themes bridging neuroscience and rehabilitation technologies, with a focus on kinematic decoding and early health technology assessment. Notable achievements include a Best Paper Award (2021) and a Starting Grant from the Italian Ministry of Health (2020). He collaborates on multi-institutional projects in Italy and France, co-investigating grants totaling €2,050,800.

• Best Paper Award, Symmetry Journal (2021)
• Italian Ministry of Health Starting Grant (2020)

As a supervisor, Errante mentors 1 postdoc, 1 PhD student, and 18 Master’s students. He serves as a reviewer for journals like NeuroImage and Frontiers in Neurology and is affiliated with professional societies including the Society for Neuroscience and the Italian Society of Neuropsychology. His work integrates clinical applications with foundational neurophysiological studies.
