| Vittorio Gallese |
Vittorio Gallese is professor of human physiology at the University of
Parma, Italy with appointments in the departments of neuroscience,
psychiatry and psychology. He is an expert in neurophysiology,
neuroscience, social neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. Gallese is
one of the discoverers of mirror neurons. His research attempts to
elucidate the functional organization of brain mechanisms underlying
social cognition, including action understanding, empathy, and theory of
mind.
Vittorio Gallese studied medicine at the University of Parma, Parma, Italy, and was awarded an M.D, in Neurology in 1990. He is a Full Professor of physiology in the Department of Neuroscience of the University of Parma. As a cognitive neuroscientist, his research focuses on the relationship between the sensory-motor system and cognition, both in non-human primates and humans using a variety of neurophysiological and functional neuroimaging techniques.
Among his major contributions is the discovery, together with the colleagues of Parma, of mirror neurons, and the elaboration of a theoretical model of basic aspects of social cognition. He is actively developing an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of intersubjectivity and social cognition in collaboration with psychologists, psycholinguists and philosophers.
Gallese has been doing research at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and at the Nihon University, Tokyo, Japan. He has been George Miller visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
In 2007 he received together with Giacomo Rizzolatti and Leonardo Fogassi the Grawemeyer Award for Psychology, for the discovery of mirror neurons. He received the Doctor Honoris Causa from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium in 2009. He receiced the Arnold Pfeffer Prize for Neuropsychoanalysis from the International Society of Neuropsychoanalysis, New York, U.S.A in 2010
Gallese has published over 150 papers in international peer-reviewed journals and edited books.
