At Interventional and Cognitive Neuromodulation it is our goal to apply insights from the brain's neural network synchronization towards developing advanced neuromodulation treatments.
About ICN
We study how the brain coordinates movement by investigating neural synchronization within the brain's motor circuit, encompassing regions like the motor cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and spinal cord. With a special focus on how disruptions of the motor circuit contribute to motor deficits in conditions like Parkinson's disease.
We invite you to explore our key research points, whether you're a seasoned researcher, an aspiring scholar, or simply curious about our latest findings and wish to join us on this fascinating journey.
Scientific Methods
We combine invasive and non-invasive neurophysiology with functional and structural neuroimaging.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
Electrocorticography (ECOG)
Electroencephalography (EEG)
Magneto-encephalography (MEG)
Functional and Structural Neuroimaging (MRI)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Dopamine and deep brain stimulation accelerate the neural dynamics of volitional action in Parkinson's disease
