Professor Letizia Leocani is a neurologist at the IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan and an associate professor of Neurology at the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University. She is the head of the Department of Clinical Research of Experimental Neurophysiology and the Center for Magnetic Intracerebral Stimulation - MAGICS of the same institute.

After graduating from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the University of Milan, she received a doctorate in human physiology and a specialization in neurology there. She received clinical and research training at Ospedale San Raffaele (Operating Departments of Neurology and Neurorehabilitation and Clinical Neurophysiology Service, Institute of Experimental Neurology - INSPE) and was a Visiting Research Fellow at the Human Motor Control Section dei National Institutes of Health USA.

Professor Leocani is engaged in neurorehabilitation and innovative technologies aimed at functional recovery, such as non-invasive transcranial magnetic and electrical neuromodulation, as well as clinical and translational neurophysiology, focusing on the identification and quantification of motor, sensory, and cognitive dysfunctions through advanced research. Among them are computer optical tomography (OCT), tools for remote digital monitoring of psychophysical functions, electrophysiology, such as electroencephalogram and somatosensory, visual, auditory and motor evoked potentials.
