Sport neuroscience

This research topic focuses on studying the effectiveness of the application of cognitive and neurostimulation techniques on sport performance physiological and perceptual parameters, as well as on evaluating how motor expertise in sport modulates perceptual mechanisms

 

 


The role of action observation, motor imagery, acoustic temporal cues and placebo in improving sport performance in elite athletes (rugby players, swimmers), active university students and high school students during physical education lesson

 

Scientists:  Bisio A., Bove M., Faelli E., Ruggeri P.

Keywords:  action observation, motor imagery, acoustic temporal cues, placebo, perception, sport

 


To test the role of motor expertise in sport domains in improving perceptual abilities involving the perception of time, space and load characterizing movements
