Michele Rucci

Rucci received Laurea (MA) and Ph.D. degrees in biomedical engineering from the University of Florence and the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, respectively. He trained as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Neurosciences Institute in San Diego. He was then Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Boston University.

He is primarily known for his work on active perception in humans and machines, particularly for his research on eye movements{{cite web |url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6745443.stm|title= Eye flickers key for fine detail |date=June 2007|publisher= BBC News}}
