Non-invasive brain stimulation technologies for brain disorders
Alexander Opitz’s research focuses on developing non-invasive brain stimulation technologies for brain disorders. Dr. Opitz has a particular interest in the underlying physics and physiology of transcranial magnetic and electric stimulation. Research in his lab spans from computational modeling of electric fields and their effect on neurons to electrophysiological recordings of brain activity in animals and humans. His lab is further developing closed-loop stimulation technologies to improve the effectiveness of brain stimulation. Dr. Opitz organizes the annual “Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Workshop” targeted at researchers interested in advancing their tool kit in non-invasive brain stimulation methods.
