Angelo Gemignani

The research activity of Prof. Gemignani is mainly oriented to the study in humans of the psychophysiological mechanisms of sleep (with particular reference to the slow oscillation of sleep), of consciousness (of its non-ordinary states induced by meditation) and of emotions ( including subliminal stimulations), from physiological conditions to preclinical ones, up to clinical ones. He also deals with the application of mindfulness protocols in the clinical setting. He also directs international research projects on adaptive responses to high stress conditions, such as those related to the simulation of human flight to Mars.
