Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates are adults participating in CNAP projects who undergo EEG and TMS-based studies as part of cognitive neuroscience research.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not involved in EEG/TMS research or without access to CNAP projects may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds the creation of a Cognitive Neuroscience Core that adds TMS and rTMS with EEG to an existing EEG Core. It will support CNAP projects by supplying equipment, technical expertise, and access to MRI facilities to advance studies of brain function and plasticity. Researchers can use virtual lesions and neuromodulation approaches to test how brain circuits support cognition in humans and how they change with experience.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this core could accelerate discoveries about brain function and aid development of neuromodulation-based therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Similar EEG/TMS+EEG cores have advanced understanding of brain networks and plasticity in humans, supporting the value of this approach.
