Abstract

In the era of cognitive advancements, this study explores the intersection of neurohumanities, cutting-edge technology, and collaborative efforts with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to promote and enhance cultural awareness. Embracing innovative methodologies such as 3D scanning, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and neurohumanistic approaches (utilizing brain sensors, eye-tracking, and Visual Thinking Strategies), the research aims to elevate the appreciation and valorization of cultural and archaeological heritage. By leveraging these technologies, the study envisions a comprehensive approach to understanding and preserving cultural legacies, fostering a deeper connection between heritage and contemporary society.

Previously he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies at Duke University, specializing in the application of digital technologies to cultural heritage visualization and archaeological research. As a core member of the Dig@Lab, a digital archaeology laboratory, Nevio actively participates in archaeological excavations and research endeavors across Italy, Turkey, and Greece. He holds a Ph.D. in Oriental Studies and began his academic journey with an MA in Ancient History from the University of Pisa, Italy. With expertise in architectural and virtual environment modeling, he collaborates with various universities on diverse projects. 

Federico Boschetti is a PhD in Classical Philology (University of Trento-University of Lille III, 2005) and in Brain and Cognitive Sciences: Language, Interaction and Computation (University of Trento, 2010). Since 2011, he has been a researcher at the CNR-Institute of Computational Linguistics "A. Zampolli", where he coordinates the CoPhiLab. Since 2019, he has been assigned to the CNR-ILC research unit at the VeDPH of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. His main research interests are in collaborative and cooperative philology.

The event is part of the seminar series organized by the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH), Department of Humanities, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. It will be held in person and online.
