==Clinical Activities==
Since 1990, Head of the Complex Unit of Neurophysiopathology (BMN09) of the Department of Neurological Sciences, University of Rome "La Sapienza."

==Research Activities==
In 1970, he began research activities on neurophysiopathology (organization of sensory and pain pathways) under the supervision of Prof. Mario Manfredi at the then Clinic for Nervous and Mental Diseases at the University of Rome La Sapienza.
From 1978 to 1979, supported by an N.I.H. scholarship, he conducted research on motor control in humans and primates under Prof. E. Bizzi at M.I.T., Boston, USA.
Since 1980, he has conducted scientific activities in three main research areas:

Motor Control: Analysis of voluntary movement, posturography.
Neuro-Ophthalmology: Automated visual field testing, chromatic visual field testing, visual evoked potentials.
Neuro-Informatics: Neural networks (diagnostic applications, neurophysiological modeling).
Principal investigator of research programs funded by CNR, M.P.I., and MURST consistently since 1980.
