Pioneering the Next Generation of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Welcome to the Brain Networks and Plasticity Lab! We are dedicated to advancing the frontier of non-invasive brain stimulation. Our lab specializes in the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), and closed-loop and machine learning approaches. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, we aim to modulate brain networks and develop novel therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders such as stroke. Our team brings together scientists and clinicians from diverse backgrounds including neuroscience, physics, bioinformatics, biomedical engineering, machine learning, psychology, psychiatry and neurology.

We are part of the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH) and the Clinic of Neurology at the University Hospital Tübingen, Germany. Our lab is located at Otfried-Müller-Straße 25, 72076 Tübingen.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful tool for non-invasive neuromodulation. Through precise manipulation of cortical activity, TMS allows us to probe the neural circuits underlying cognition, behavior, and motor function. Our lab pioneers the development of advanced TMS protocols to optimize stimulation paradigms for maximal efficacy and individualized treatment outcomes.

TMS and EEG

Our research integrates TMS with EEG for real-time brain activity monitoring and modulation in a closed-loop system. This combination offers unique insights into neural network dynamics. Using state-of-the-art machine learning, we aim to decode neural states, predict treatment responses, and guide personalized interventions.

TMS Outpatient Clinic

In our TMS outpatient clinic located at the University of Tübingen, Center of Neurology, Department Neurology and Stroke, we have been treating patients with TMS since 2018. The TMS outpatient clinic provides a range of services including consultation and TMS treatment for patients with hemiparesis and aphasia following stroke.
