Olimpia Pino is Associate Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of Parma, where she previously directed the Master’s Program in Emergency Psychology and Psychotraumatology. She began her career as a researcher at the University of Palermo.

Her research explores learning, memory, and traumatic processes across healthy and impaired populations. She later integrated biological and psychobiological models into health psychology and pioneered the use of Negative Air Ions to treat mood disturbances and enhance neuropsychological performance.

Her current work focuses on brain–computer interaction, neurofeedback, and Brain–Computer Interface technologies—including humanoid robotics—to understand how the brain changes through education, treatment, and meditation. Her lab also investigates traffic psychology, eyewitness testimony, and occupational stress, with forensic and policy applications.

Author of over 80 publications, Dr. Pino serves on multiple editorial boards and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and public education on quality of care.
