Modelling the effects of brain stimulation

Description 
Brain stimulation is a powerful therapeutic approach for an increasing number of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the exact mechanisms and ideal stimulation targets that yield the best results remain elusive. To bridge this knowledge gap, we will focus on pioneering novel methodologies designed to understand the fundamental principles governing the effects of brain stimulation. Students will develop skills in computational modelling, neuroscience, neuroimaging, and the application of brain stimulation techniques.
