  • New Poster Presentation Accepted at IFESS Conference 2026

    We are pleased to announce our work has been accepted for presentation at the IFESS Conference 2026, a leading international global event in neurorehabilitation technologies.

    A Multisensory VR–TENS Platform for Personalized Chronic Neuropathic Pain Management

    Paper ID: 44
    Contribution Type: Poster Presentation
    Dates: 2nd-4th September 2026

    Authors: Anna Sparapani, Elisa Tessitore, Andrea Cimolato, Stanisa Raspopovic

    Chronic neuropathic pain remains a major clinical challenge, often requiring personalized and multidisciplinary treatment strategies. In this work, we present a novel multisensory platform that combines immersive virtual reality with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to create personalized interventions for pain management.

    This contribution reflects our ongoing efforts to develop innovative neurotechnologies that bridge neuroscience, rehabilitation engineering, and digital health to improve the quality of life of people living with chronic neurological conditions.

    We look forward to presenting our work at IFESS 2026 and discussing future directions!

  • Two Contributions from Our Lab at FENS Forum 2026

    We are pleased to announce that our research will be presented at FENS Forum 2026, leading European neuroscience conference, taking place in Barcelona this July.

    Sensorimotor Rehabilitation After Spinal Cord Injury Enhanced by Synergistic Virtual Reality and Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

    Abstract No. 2641
    Poster No. PS04-08PM-108
    📅 8 July 2026
    🕑 14:00–15:30

    This work, presented by our lab member Anna Sparapani, explores how the combination of immersive virtual reality and transcutaneous electrical stimulation can enhance sensorimotor rehabilitation after spinal cord injury. By synchronizing multisensory feedback with motor training, the approach aims to improve functional recovery and patient engagement during rehabilitation.

    Selective Modulation of Autonomic Functions via Closed-Loop Vagus Nerve Stimulation

    Abstract No. 2643
    Poster No. PS07-10AM-106
    📅 10 July 2026
    🕦 11:30–13:00

    Presented by Titouan Brossy, this work investigates closed-loop vagus nerve stimulation as a strategy to selectively modulate autonomic functions. The study contributes to the growing field of bioelectronic medicine, where intelligent neurostimulation systems are designed to regulate physiological processes with high precision.

    We look forward to meet you all, respond to your questions and spark our interest in our work!
    See you very soon.
