In the Department of Neuromodulation within the Division of Neurology, we develop innovative neurotechnologies for the treatment of motor and cognitive symptoms associated with neurological disorders, particularly for patients with Parkinson’s disease or those who have suffered a stroke. Our focus is on the application of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and functional cerebral imaging (e.g. fMRI, EEG).

Transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) plays a central role in this work (Wessel & Beanato et al. 2023, Nature Neuroscience; Hummel & Wessel et al. 2024, Nature Reviews Neurology). Our work is embedded within close co-operations in the field of neuromodulation research, both on-site and with external partners, in particular the sister laboratory (‘non-invasive DBS lab’) at Würzburg University Hospital and the Hummel Laboratory at EPFL (Geneva and Sion, Switzerland).
