معرفی
Martina Amanzio is a Professor of Neuropsychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the Department of Psychology, University of Turin, Italy. Her research focuses on the neuropsychophysiological mechanisms underlying placebo/nocebo effects, healthy aging, and neurodegenerative diseases. She has contributed extensively to interdisciplinary studies integrating cognitive neuroscience with clinical and computational approaches.
- Current Affiliation: University of Turin, Italy
- Editorial Roles: Chief Editor for Frontiers in Psychology (Neuropsychology), Guest Associate Editor for Frontiers in Pharmacology
Her research on placebo and nocebo phenomena explores psychosocial and neurobiological modulators in clinical settings, particularly Alzheimer’s disease. For healthy aging, she investigates mental flexibility biomarkers, computational modeling, and pandemic-related socioemotional challenges. Recent work also addresses EEG-based brain-machine interfaces for cognitive rehabilitation in older adults.
Key trends in her 2023–2024 publications include:
- Integration of machine learning with neuropsychological assessments
- Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aging populations
- Development of biopsychosocial frameworks for placebo/nocebo effects
- Advancing EEG and neuroimaging technologies in gerontology
As an editorial contributor, she has curated topics on cognitive aging and nocebo effects, emphasizing their translational relevance to clinical trials and policy. Her collaborative network spans institutions in Italy, Spain, Denmark, and the U.S., reflecting her interdisciplinary focus.
