Research Interests

How does the human brain adapt to challenges? Our research group is interested in systems neuroplasticity as a mechanism for adaptation during cognition. We study flexible interactions of neural networks for different cognitive domains with functional neuroimaging and neurostimulation (TMS, tACS, tDCS, concurrent TMS-fMRI) in healthy young, aging, and lesioned brains. We also develop novel network stimulation approaches to advance the current knowledge of adaptive systems plasticity in neural networks for higher cognitive functions.
