My research experience focuses on investigating the intricate functional interplay of different brain areas involved in emotional learning, action control, brain plasticity, decision-making, and a variety of cognitive tasks. To this end, my research activities primarily revolve around the utilization of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in addition to employing various neuroscientific techniques to record physiological measures, including EEG, SCR, HRV, and EMG. I have conducted extensive research involving both healthy individuals, where I examine intra/inter-individual differences and patients with acquired brain injuries. In my investigations, I employ a multimodal approach that integrates behavioral assessments, electrophysiological measurements, and neurostimulation techniques. The overarching aim of my research is to develop innovative therapeutic protocols, with a particular focus on utilizing the cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) method to facilitate neuroplasticity and enhance functional recovery.
