My research focus centres on how the brain changes and reorganises both in health and disease using different neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and various brain stimulation modalities such as transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Areas of interest: Systems Neuroscience; Computational Neuroscience; Clinical Neuroscience; Neuroplasticity; Neurorehabilitation; Neuroimaging; BOLD-LFP-Spiking coupling; Neuromodulation
Methods and technical experience: Study design, sequence, data acquisition and analysis (anatomical MRI, functional MRI, MR spectroscopy); data acquisition, analysis and source localisation (EEG); MRI-guided stereotactic neuromodulation (rTMS, FUS); tDCS; EMG; Psychophysics; Computational modelling
Projects
Currently, I am investigating the effects of theta burst stimulation on various cortical regions and neural populations (in vivo). In addition, I use computational modelling and simulation-based approaches to identify biomarkers of neuromodulation response and examine biophysical factors that could help optimise stimulation protocols for distinct cortical targets and neurological disorders.
