Neurophysiological predictors of brain stimulation outcomes

该项目旨在确定预测个体对非侵入性脑刺激反应的认知和神经生理学因素，非侵入性脑刺激用于定向学习和执行功能过程。刺激方法在阐明认知的因果神经基础和在一系列应用环境中提高表现方面显示出巨大的前景。然而，对这种干预措施的反应存在很大的个体差异。利用先进的成像技术，该项目旨在为这些个体差异的决定因素提供全面的见解。结果和好处包括确定决定刺激效果的大脑特征，并为应用方案的设计提供信息。

This project aims to determine the cognitive and neurophysiological factors that predict an individual’s response to non-invasive brain stimulation used to target learning and executive function processes. Stimulation methods show immense promise for elucidating the causal neural substrates of cognition, and for enhancing performance in a range of applied settings. However, there are large individual differences in response to such interventions. Using advanced imaging techniques, the project aims to provide comprehensive insights into the determinants of these individual differences. Outcomes and benefits include identifying brain characteristics that determine stimulation efficacy and informing the design of protocols for applied use.
