Laila Craighero

Laila Craighero is a full Professor at the University of Ferrara, affiliated with the Section of Human Physiology under the Department of Neuroscience and Rehabilitation. Her research focuses on the sensorimotor system's role in cognitive functions, particularly motor resonance, biological kinematics, and human-robot interaction. She has published extensively on topics such as stroke rehabilitation, neonatal development, and digital action semantics.

Her recent publications (2024–2020) explore:

• Mechanisms of motor resonance in stroke and Parkinson’s patients
• Sensorimotor activation in fibromyalgia and newborns
• Timing in human-robot collaborative tasks
• Digital action recognition via smartphone typing dynamics

She teaches Psychobiology and related courses across multiple degree programs, including Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, and Motors Sciences.
