Flaminia Pallotti

Research Interests

Flaminia is particularly interested in non-invasive neuromodulation, stemming from a deep curiosity about the brain’s complexity and our ability to interact with it. She finds it fascinating that these techniques offer the rare opportunity to serve as both intervention and probe, enabling mechanistic investigations and therapeutic applications simultaneously: in essence, exploring how functional pathways become disrupted and, importantly, how they might be restored.

Her research at the Brain-Body Regulation Lab focuses on the self-regulation of arousal through pupil-based biofeedback, addressing both mechanistic and translational questions. What she finds especially exciting about this project is that the perturbation arises from the participant’s own internal state, rather than from an externally applied stimulus.

In her scientific career, Flaminia aims to maintain a patient-centered approach, conducting research with tangible clinical relevance and accessible impact. At the same time, she hopes to contribute to a deeper understanding of brain function, thus bridging basic and applied neuroscience.
