Overview

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) is a powerful tool in neurorehabilitation that modulates excitability and neurotransmitter expression in targeted brain areas. This project aims to develop next-generation NIBS technologies and stimulation protocols to enhance vision rehabilitation in adults with eye and brain disorders. Building on existing NIBS methods, the study focuses on overcoming current limitations by increasing the strength and durability of therapeutic effects. Key research activities include developing accelerated stimulation protocols, multi-site brain stimulation strategies, combined neuromodulation techniques, and exploring emerging approaches such as transcranial ultrasound stimulation.
