Research is our DNA
Scientific evidence is part of our story. Leximore was born as a spin-off of the Politecnico di Milano and the University of Milano-Bicocca, the result of decades of scientific research on learning and fragilities. Language and movement are deeply connected: years of studies, from embodied cognition to brain imaging, demonstrate this. It is precisely from this connection that we developed Leximore: a rigor that is reflected every day in the work of our scientific committee.
