Pathway-dependent Brain Stimulation Responses Indicate Motion Processing Integrity After Stroke

Elena Beanato, Michele Bevilacqua, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Homonymous hemianopia (HH), a common visual impairment resulting from occipital lobe lesions, affects a significant number of stroke survivors. Intensive perceptual training can foster recovery, possibly by enhancing surviving visual pathways. This study e ...

Noninvasive modulation of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex during spatial navigation in humans

Olaf Blanke, Elena Beanato, Hyukjun Moon, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Baptiste Gauthier, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Emanuela De Falco, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel

Because of the depth of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex (HC-EC) in the brain, understanding of its role in spatial navigation via neuromodulation was limited in humans. Here, we aimed to better elucidate this relationship in healthy volunteers, using tr ...

Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Julie Duqué, Fabienne Windel

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...

Single session cross-frequency bifocal tACS modulates visual motion network activity in young healthy population and stroke patients

Michele Bevilacqua, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Objective: This study investigates the impact of single-session, cross-frequency (Alpha-Gamma) bifocal transcranial alternating current stimulation (cf-tACS) to the cortical visual motion network on inter-areal coupling between the primary visual cortex (V ...

Safety, tolerability and blinding efficiency of non-invasive deep transcranial temporal interference stimulation: first experience from more than 250 sessions

Elena Beanato, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Fabienne Windel, Emma Marie D Stiennon

Objective. Selective neuromodulation of deep brain regions has for a long time only been possible through invasive approaches, because of the steep depth-focality trade-off of conventional non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques. Approach. An appr ...

Computer vision-based algorithm to sUppoRt coRrect electrode placemeNT (CURRENT) for home-based electric non-invasive brain stimulation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Rémy Marc M Gardier, Fabienne Windel

Objective: Home-based non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been suggested as an adjunct treatment strategy for neuro-psychiatric disorders. There are currently no available solutions to direct and monitor correct placement of the stimulation electrode ...

Noninvasive theta-burst stimulation of the human striatum enhances striatal activity and motor skill learning

Elena Beanato, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel

The stimulation of deep brain structures has thus far only been possible with invasive methods. Transcranial electrical temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) is a novel, noninvasive technology that might overcome this limitation. The initial proof-of-co ...

Examining the synergistic effects of a cognitive control video game and a home-based, self-administered non-invasive brain stimulation on alleviating depression: the DiSCoVeR trial protocol

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Roser Vinals Terres, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Rémy Marc M Gardier, Fabienne Windel

Enhanced behavioral interventions are gaining increasing interest as innovative treatment strategies for major depressive disorder (MDD). In this study protocol, we propose to examine the synergistic effects of a self-administered home-treatment, encompass ...
