New Publication on IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence
We are happy to announce that our paper “How Can Artificial Intelligence and Brain Connectivity Inform Outcome Prediction in Drug-Resistant Epilepsy?” has been published on IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence. If you’re curious about how brain connectivity and AI can make epilepsy care more personalized, this scoping review summarizes 41 studies using structural/functional/effective connectomes to predict drug resistance, localize the epileptogenic zone, and forecast postsurgical and VNS outcomes. Overall, better results are consistently linked to resecting highly connected/aberrant network hubs overlapping the EZ, and AI models often improve prediction beyond traditional biomarkers—while highlighting current limits in sample size, heterogeneity, and explainability.
New Publication on IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
We are happy to announce that our paper “Artificial intelligence and wearable technologies for upper limb neurorehabilitation” has been published on IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering. If you’re curious about how wearable EEG/EMG neurorehabilitation systems are evolving, this paper reviews 51 studies and maps the field across biosignals, wearable setups, AI methods, and clinical applications. It also highlights key open challenges (accuracy, robustness, validation) and discusses how explainable AI and generative AI could improve interpretability and personalization in future upper-limb rehabilitation.
Dr. Ilaria Siviero has been awarded the prestigious WE Award – Women Excellence 2025
Dr. Ilaria Siviero, a postdoc researcher at the University of Verona, has been awarded the prestigious WE Award – Women Excellence 2025 in the Training and Research category. The awards ceremony took place in Milan as part of the Gala “Women at the Top 2025”, an event organized by Il Sole 24 Ore in collaboration with the Financial Times and the Sky TG24 media partnership. On that occasion, the 2025 Women Excellence Awards were awarded, recognitions reserved for women who, with talent, vision, and commitment, contribute concretely to innovation and the social, economic, and cultural progress of the country.
Dr. Nicola Valè has been awarded by the Italian Association of Physiotherapists
BraiNavLab postdoctoral researcher Nicola Valè received an award in the “Digital Technologies” session at the AIFI conference “Verso l’Appropriatezza Terapeutica: Moving between Clinical Practice and Evidence”. The recognition highlights our work on motor–cognitive interaction in multiple sclerosis, presented through a wearable EEG–IMU framework that enables the simultaneous recording of brain activity and movement during dynamic task like walking, supported by AI-based processing for automated trial segmentation and analysis.
