معرفی
Associate Professor Luca Battaglini is affiliated with the University of Padua, where he conducts research in human vision, motion perception, and non-invasive brain stimulation. His work focuses on perceptual learning, synaptic plasticity, and visual illusions in both normal and low-vision populations. He has developed advanced methodologies using the Psychophysics Toolbox and integrates transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to study neural mechanisms underlying visual processing.
Key research areas include:
- Visual perception adaptation in macular degeneration
- Collinear interactions in contrast perception
- Applications of tACS in enhancing visual perception
- Cognitive effects of visual illusions
His recent publications (2025-2022) explore:
- Neural adaptations in low-vision patients
- Optical architectures for psychophysical tests
- Temporal and spatial aspects of visual processing
- Cross-modal interactions between vision and motion
Notable contributions include pioneering work on:
- Visual cortex reorganization in degenerative diseases
- Electrophysiological correlates of motion perception
- Development of neuroplasticity-based rehabilitation protocols
His research bridges basic neuroscience with clinical applications, particularly in vision restoration for disorders like albinism and macular degeneration.
