Research goals
I combine observational and interventional approaches including scalp-recorded electroencephalogram together with non-invasive brain stimulation methods, such as transcranial alternating current stimulation or transcranial magnetic stimulation to study neural entrainment effects in humans.
I propose a novel approach to dose repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and I call it the "prospective electric field estimation/optimization approach". Instead of determining the stimulation intensity by the most commonly used near threshold paradigm (resting motor threshold), I suggest using the prospectively modeled magnitudes of the induced intracranial electric fields to dose rTMS. This approach allows us to study the electrophysiological effects of different electric field magnitudes in a more direct way than the conventional method.
Current position
I currently work as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Neuroanatomy, Institute of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Freiburg, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
