Développement de nouveaux outils de neurostimulation non-invasifs chez l'humain

Because of their unique capabilities of establishing causal inference, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS) have provided major advances in our understanding of brain-behaviour relationship. However, current NIBS techniques have significant weaknesses; their spatial resolution is limited, their direct effect is confined to the cortical surface, and their neurophysiological impacts are highly variable from person to person and difficult to predict. These shortcomings hinder the capacity of neuroscientists to study the precise function of small or deep cortical areas, the role of specific types of neurons, and limit the reliability and generalizability of their results.
