EEG HUG-UNIGE Clinical and Translational Neuroimaging Section

Isotta Rigoni graduated in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Padova (Italy)in 2017 and obtained a PhD from Aston University (UK) in 2021, where she investigated changes in brain-to-muscle connectivity and muscle synergies following mechanical muscle stimulation.
From 2021 to 2024, she was a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Vulliémoz’s Epilepsy and Network Lab, studying functional brain networks in epilepsy and their relationship with structural connectivity and vigilance states.
In 2024 she received support from the Faculty of Medicine to pursue independent research as Maître Assistante, focusing on sleep-dependent memory consolidation in temporal lobe epilepsy. Her research combines high-density EEG, functional and structural connectivity, and cognitive testing to investigate epileptic brain networks.

In November 2026, Isotta Rigoni joined the CIBM EEG HUG UNIGE  Clinical and Translational  Neuroimaging Section as a Research Staff Scientist and EEG Lab Manager supporting scientists working with EEG, from experimental design and acquisition to data analysis, while supervising PhD and master students and contributing to scientific outreach activities.
