Vittorio Gallese: Breve profilo biografico

Il Prof. Vittorio Gallese è Professore Ordinario di Fisiologia presso il Dipartimento di Neuroscienze della Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell’Università degli Studi di Parma. E’ coordinatore del Dottorato in Neuroscienze dell’Università di Parma. Neuroscienziato, ha da sempre incentrato i propri interessi di ricerca sulla relazione tra sistema sensori-motorio e cognizione nei primati non-umani e nell’uomo. Tra i suoi contributi principali vi è la scoperta assieme ai colleghi del gruppo di Parma dei neuroni specchio, e l’elaborazione di un modello neuroscientifico dell’intersoggettività. Collabora da più anni con filosofi della mente, psichiatri e psicolinguisti all’elaborazione di un approccio multidisciplinare all’intersoggettività. Ha svolto attività di ricerca e insegnato presso la Nihon University di Tokyo e la University of California di Berkeley. Ha vinto il Premio Grawemeyer per la Psicologia per l’anno 2007 assieme a Giacomo Rizzolatti e Leonardo Fogassi per la scoperta dei neuroni specchio. E’ membro della Società Italiana di Fisiologia, del Direttivo della Società Italiana di Neuropsicologia, dell’International Neuropsychological Symposium e del Comitato Scientifico della Fondation Fyssen di Parigi, Francia. E’ autore di oltre 100 articoli scientifici pubblicati su riviste e libri internazionali.
