Brain Stimulation and Cognition Laboratory

Researchers of the Brain Stimulation and Cognition lab investigate a wide variety of domains, including visual #perception and #attention, #learning and #memory, #decisionmaking, #cognitivecontrol, #gender, and #clinical #NIBS #applications such as #spatialneglect #treatment

🔔@HVoetterl et al. examine the application of ‘Brainmarker-I’ on predicting remission to therapeutic noninvasive neuromodulation protocols in #depression. @Sack_BSClab @hanvdij @Brainclinics @MaastrichtU nature.com/articles/s4422…

Just published in @BiologicalPsyc1 Target Engagement and Brain State Dependence of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Implications for Clinical Practice doi.org/10.1016/j.biop… Great work with @Sack_BSClab @jsmnpnv Tara Kuthe, Eva Dijkstra, @L_Zwienenberg & @SchuhmannTeresa

📢In a🆕 Comment, @Brainclinics et al. argue stratified psychiatry could be a practical alternative for individuals with #mentalhealth disorders, including #depression. @Sack_BSClab @DeepPsy1 @MaastrichtU nature.com/articles/s4422…

The invention of TMS John Rothwell reminiscing with Anthony Barker about his invention of TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation; 14 min.) Professor John Rothwell, one of the first to experience Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in London, reminisces about the early days of TMS in a conversation with Professor Anthony T. Barker, inventor of this non-invasive brain stimulation technique. Dr. Barker tells an extremely interesting story, interspersed with lovely anecdotes, from both the interviewer and the interviewee. Brainclinics Foundation wishes to thank Professor John Rothwell for graciously making the interview available, Professor Anthony Barker for his advice and supplementary visual material, and a special thanks to Professor Shoogo Ueno, inventor of the figure of eight coil, for his encouragement and kind words. @ClinicalNeuroph @ClinicalTMS @TMSSociety @TheRealSPR @Sack_BSClab @MagVentureUK @magstimTMS @MagstimEGI @BrainsWay @DEYMED_Diagnos For further info: brainclinics.com/origins-of-bra…

Last week, our incredible PhD @AlineMECDantas successfully defended her thesis, titled "A Gut Feeling: Noninvasive brain stimulation, gut microbiota and decision-making under risk". Congratulations Dr. Dantas! 🎓#PhDone @SchuhmannTeresa @AlexanderSack72 @LisaBruggen & Peiran Jiao

Would you like to work with us? Are you interested in computational modelling and inter-area brain communication? A 3-year postdoc and a PhD position are available now, with our very own @TenOever_Sanne! More details below ⬇️

It's here! Our new review paper in @BiologicalPsyc1 highlights the importance of brain state dependence of #TMS effects & what that implies about #NIBS in clinical practice. @AlexanderSack72 @SchuhmannTeresa @Brainclinics @L_Zwienenberg, Eva & Tara. biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

Yesterday, our PhD student, now Dr. Mikellides, successfully defended his PhD thesis at @MaastrichtU and we couldn't be more proud of him! Congratulations Dr. Mikellides!

Hope to see you all there in 2024! @Sack_BSClab @MartinTik1 @neuromodec @MaromBikson @AnnaLisaSchule1 @CBaeken #TMS #tdcs #nibs

Fun non-invasive brain stimulation hands-on training, @MaastrichtU, by @SchuhmannTeresa and @AlexanderSack72 and @Sack_BSClab, for the #BRAINN team, @uzgent, @KingsCollegeLon. @EU_Commission @REA_research #HorizonEU #LongCovid #EUTwinning

Yesterday was a *BIG* milestone for my PhD! We completed the 1st measurement of my #simultaneous #EEG-#TMS-#fMRI study. The online combination of all methods required a team of 6 people, 4.5 hours patience of 1 participant & 1.5 years of preparation. So proud! #phdlife 🧠🧲⚡️
