Marianna Liparoti

Marianna Liparoti is a kinesiologist and Research Fellow who held a position at the University of Naples Parthenope from 2019 to 2021, specializing in movement analysis and magnetoencephalography (MEG) techniques for studying brain signals related to motor and cognitive functions. She earned a PhD in Motor and Sports Sciences, establishing her expertise in the physiological and neurological aspects of human movement.

Her research agenda integrates kinesiology with neuroscience to address rehabilitation challenges, with core interests including: psychological well-being enhancement through exercise interventions; comparative analysis of perception-action coupling in typical and pathological populations; neural mechanisms of motor imagery; functional brain connectivity mapping; and gait modulation influenced by psychological factors. This multidisciplinary approach leverages technology-driven methodologies to develop ecological assessment tools.

Dr. Liparoti contributed to the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation-funded project (Grant No. 1567/2016B) in 2019, titled "The role of gaming technology to improve spatial abilities in individuals with genetic syndromes," which pioneered gaming-based behavioral tests for spatial skill assessment and enhancement in genetic disorder populations. Her work demonstrates applied research translating neuroscience findings into therapeutic interventions through innovative technological solutions.
