Dr Francisco Javier Romero Naranjo is the creator of the internationally renowned BAPNE Method - a method of cognitive, socio-emotional, psychomotor, and neurorehabilitation stimulation based on neuromotricity. The method utilises body percussion as a didactic tool focused on the possible stimulation of cognitive and executive functions. Through five core pillars (B: Biomechanics, A: Anatomy, P: Psychology, N: Neuroscience, E: Ethnomusicology), Dr Romero justifies, with a focus on neuromotricity, the role of the body in cognitive stimulation.

His research aligns with two principal areas of study: Neuromotricity and executive functions through the BAPNE method. Music and movement in different cultures through body percussion. Dr Romero has participated in over ten research projects, leading to significant scientific publications. His work has been published by institutions such as Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Sociedad Española de Musicología (SEDEM), Elsevier, among others. International academic databases, including Web of Science and Scopus, recognise him as the most active author in the field of neuromotricity and body percussion worldwide. He has been invited to deliver lectures and courses in countries such as the USA, Japan, Venezuela, Italy, Paraguay, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Norway, Denmark, and Colombia.
