Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has proven to be effective in reducing the seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy. This therapy greatly benefits from designing personalized electrode montages (electrode positions and currents) that target the appropriate areas of the brain. In the state-of-the-art…

Low-intensity ultrasound neuromodulation is a rapidly emerging technology due to its non-invasiveness and millimeter-scale precision. Despite numerous experimental settings demonstrating that ultrasonic waves can modulate the neural activity in different brain areas, the interaction between the ultrasonic source and…

Introduction. There exists no method for non-invasive imaging of neural activity throughout the brain with a millisecond and millimetre resolution. EIT can theoretically achieve this by injecting a constant current with surface electrodes, measuring the voltage change associated with neural depolarization and…

Functional positron emission tomography (fPET) imaging using [18F]FDG serves as an index of neuronal activity independent of neurovascular coupling (Villien 2014). However, its absolute quantification through arterial blood sampling requires substantial resources (Hahn 2016). We investigate whether task-specific…

Spinal neuromodulation via epidural electrical stimulation is a promising therapy for motor function restoration of patients with spinal cord injury. By applying specific sequences of electrical stimulation to the spinal cord through the electrode array, the patient can achieve multiple movements. However, one of main…
