Brief description How brain stimulation modulates cortical processing and cognition. This project aims to ascertain how stimulation affects the brain, and establishes key factors that predict individual subjects’ responsiveness. Electrical brain stimulation techniques have shown promise as tools for studying the brain and behaviour. However, the physiological mechanisms through which stimulation alters neural activity, and thus behaviour, are unclear, and there is substantial variability in stimulation efficacy across individuals. By combining stimulation and structural, functional, and neurochemical imaging, this project will uncover key predictors of stimulation efficacy in modulating behaviour in individuals. This project will allow the development of protocols to increase stimulation efficacy, and advance understanding as to how the brain and behaviour are influenced by stimulation interventions.
