Cos'è la ricerca |
Masticationpedia ha come Mission, oltre alla diffusione della Scienza nel campo della neurofisiologia in generale e delle riabilitazioni masticatorie, anche lo scopo di raggiungere un target in progetti scientifici di particolare interesse tematico: perché chi sceglie di dedicare alla ricerca la propria vita, fa dello studio e della sperimentazione la sua professione e finalizza queste attività all'acquisizione di nuove conoscenze che non sempre sono chiaramente esplicitate.
Tuttavia le scoperte e quanto è descritto in complicati manuali hanno ricadute ben più numerose e importanti sui diversi aspetti della nostra vita di quanto possiamo immaginare. La ricerca e lo sviluppo, oltre a essere indissolubilmente legati fra loro, incidono sulla società e sulla vita di tutti noi.
This reflection explains why Masticationpedia stands out with its peculiar approach to the topic “Scientific Research”.
Put simple, the research activities can be distinguished as follows:
- Fundamental research: The basic research looks for acquiring new knowledge and understanding complex processes. It originates from the curiosity, interest and intuition of the researcher and is conducted without an immediate practical purpose, even if its results, perhaps years later, may have important practical implications.
- Industrial research: Also called applied research, it is chosen to find concrete and specific solutions. It’s aim is the use of theoretical knowledge for practical purposes, not knowledge itself.
- Frontier research: The stiff separation between basic and applied research no longer exists here, just as it is no longer possible to clearly distinguish the disciplines. Addressing problems with an interdisciplinary approach and sharing knowledge acquired in different areas represent the new challenges of research. Today the most innovative sectors and studies are those that lie on the borderlines between different disciplinary fields. This situation leads to a new interactive model in which fundamental research questions arise by addressing practical problems, and practical problems contribute to asking new questions.
Masticationpedia proposes this model at national and international levels and wishes to be a starting point for collaboration and exchange of knowledge between people and institutions, whether public or private, will be presented shortly.
particularly focusing on the field of the neurophysiology of the masticatory system
