  • transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
  • deep brain stimulation (DBS)             
• Neural Recordings
  • electrophysiology
  • EEG, evoked potentials
• Behavioural Assessment

Topics/Areas

BIB-SN scientists study a broad spectrum of neuroscience. 

Basic studies aim to delineate fundamental principles of organization

and function related to:

• motor systems (including speech)
• sensory systems (including vision, touch and pain)
• cognitive/attentional systems (including memory)
• plasticity

There are several areas of translational and clinical focus, including:

• epilepsy
• depression
• acute and chronic pain
• movement disorders (Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, etc.)
• obsessive compulsive disorder
• schizophrenia
• stroke
• stuttering
• Tourette’s Syndrome
