Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity Lab

The Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity Lab is led by Prof. Julio C Hernandez-Pavon. In the Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity Lab, we use cognitive and computational neuroscience techniques, brain stimulation, neuroimaging, brain modeling, and signal analysis processing to study the human brain. In particular, we use state-of-the-art transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electroencephalography (EEG). We also use structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging, and peripheral electrical stimulation.

In the Brain Stimulation and Neuroplasticity Lab we are interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms of human brain connectivity and developing new approaches to induce neuroplasticity. We are also interested in conducting basic and clinical research and developing therapies for motor and language disorders (for example, in post-stroke and Parkinson’s disease).

Prof. Julio C Hernandez-Pavon is an expert on TMS combined with EEG (TMS−EEG). He possesses a wide range of skills, including cognitive and computational neuroscience, brain stimulation, neuroimaging, brain modeling, and signal analysis processing. He is a pioneer in introducing independent component analysis (ICA) to the field of TMS−EEG.
