معرفی
Simone DALLA BELLA is a Professor at the Université de Montréal, affiliated with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Psychology. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Music Auditory-Motor Skill Learning and New Technologies. His primary research focuses on cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying musical perception and performance, with a particular emphasis on rhythmic abilities in healthy individuals and clinical populations (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, ADHD). He co-directs the BRAMS laboratory (International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research) and explores applications of rhythmic and auditory-motor interventions for neurological and movement disorders.
Research Interests: Dr. Dalla Bella investigates how rhythmic and temporal predictions influence language processing, motor coordination, and rehabilitation. His work integrates behavioral methods, EEG, motion capture, and wearable technologies to assess and train rhythmic skills. Key areas include: 1) rhythmic deficits in clinical populations, 2) music-based rehabilitation for Parkinson’s disease, 3) neural correlates of auditory-motor synchronization, and 4) cross-modal temporal processing.
Key Projects: Recent grants include studies on rhythmic learning in immersive environments, neurostimulation and music effects on mood, and the role of rhythm in speech production. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams addressing intersectorial challenges in neuroscience and health.
Labs/Teams: Co-director of BRAMS and member of CRBLM (Centre for Research on Brain, Language and Music). His work bridges cognitive neuroscience, audiology, and physical medicine, with applications in neurorehabilitation and motor training.
