Franco Pestilli studies the brain using neuroimaging methods, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques like diffusion imaging that map white matter—the wiring connecting brain regions. A major part of the work also focuses on the practical and ethical infrastructure of neuroscience: sharing brain data openly, building data governance frameworks (including internationally, such as across Africa), improving reproducibility, and developing software and cloud platforms for research and education.
