Brancucci Alfredo

Brancucci Alfredo is an Associate Professor at the University of Rome Foro Italico, working within the Department of Human and Health Sports Sciences. His position as Associate Professor - Level II reflects his standing in the academic community with expertise in PSIC-01/B - Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience.

His research interests span a diverse range of neuroscience topics including hemispheric functional and behavioral asymmetries, neural correlates of consciousness, neuroscience of music, various neuroimaging techniques (EEG, MEG, fMRI), perception systems, psychobiology of nutrition, motor system analysis, and non-invasive brain stimulation methods. His work uniquely bridges sports science with neuroscience, creating interdisciplinary connections that inform both fields.

Professor Brancucci's publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to cognitive neuroscience, with recent work focusing on transcranial stimulation techniques, consciousness studies through ambiguous figure perception, hemispheric asymmetries in auditory processing, and innovative computational methods for neuroimaging data analysis. His research shows a clear trajectory from foundational work on pain perception and motor systems to more recent explorations of consciousness and brain stimulation techniques.

He actively teaches courses related to lifelong healthy habits, sport psychology, and developmental educational psychology, while serving on multiple university committees that shape sports science education. His international collaborations with institutions in Denmark and Germany demonstrate the global recognition of his research expertise.

Professor Brancucci participates in significant research projects including studies on neurophysiological correlates of perception with the CNR/Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies and leads work at UniRoma4's Laboratory of Sport and Applied Medical Technical Sciences on the relationship between microbiota, brain function, and sports performance.
