Chiara Speranza serves as a Clear Hope Research Fellow at the Interdepartmental Center for Mind/Brain Sciences (CIMEC) of the University of Trento, where her work bridges cognitive neuroscience and clinical neurology with a focus on Parkinson's disease mechanisms and interventions.
Her core research areas include:
- Neuroscience
- Cognitive Neuroscience
- Motor Control
- Parkinson's Disease
- Functional MRI
Dr. Speranza employs multimodal methodologies including fMRI, TMS, and behavioral assessments to investigate neural correlates of motor/cognitive deficits. Her recent publications reveal a strong emphasis on Parkinson's disease pathophysiology, with studies examining mental state recognition impairments, resting-state motor network connectivity, and novel therapeutic approaches like tango therapy. This work demonstrates interdisciplinary integration of neuroimaging, clinical assessment, and rehabilitation science.
She maintains active collaborations with researchers including Enrica Pierotti, Luca Turella, and Alessandra Dodich, resulting in publications in high-impact journals such as European Journal of Neuroscience, NeuroImage, and Scientific Reports within the last two years.
