Pathway-dependent Brain Stimulation Responses Indicate Motion Processing Integrity After Stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Elena Beanato, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Fabienne Windel, Michele Bevilacqua, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Pauline Menoud

Homonymous hemianopia (HH), a common visual impairment resulting from occipital lobe lesions, affects a significant number of stroke survivors. Intensive perceptual training can foster recovery, possibly by enhancing surviving visual pathways. This study e ...

Noninvasive modulation of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex during spatial navigation in humans

Olaf Blanke, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Emanuela De Falco, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Baptiste Gauthier

Because of the depth of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex (HC-EC) in the brain, understanding of its role in spatial navigation via neuromodulation was limited in humans. Here, we aimed to better elucidate this relationship in healthy volunteers, using tr ...

Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Fabienne Windel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Julie Duqué

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...

Single session cross-frequency bifocal tACS modulates visual motion network activity in young healthy population and stroke patients

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury, Fabienne Windel, Michele Bevilacqua, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet, Pauline Menoud

Objective: This study investigates the impact of single-session, cross-frequency (Alpha-Gamma) bifocal transcranial alternating current stimulation (cf-tACS) to the cortical visual motion network on inter-areal coupling between the primary visual cortex (V ...

Safety, tolerability and blinding efficiency of non-invasive deep transcranial temporal interference stimulation: first experience from more than 250 sessions

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Fabienne Windel, Emma Marie D Stiennon, Maximilian Jonas Wessel

Objective. Selective neuromodulation of deep brain regions has for a long time only been possible through invasive approaches, because of the steep depth-focality trade-off of conventional non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques. Approach. An appr ...

Computer vision-based algorithm to sUppoRt coRrect electrode placemeNT (CURRENT) for home-based electric non-invasive brain stimulation

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Roser Vinals Terres, Fabienne Windel, Rémy Marc M Gardier

Objective: Home-based non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been suggested as an adjunct treatment strategy for neuro-psychiatric disorders. There are currently no available solutions to direct and monitor correct placement of the stimulation electrode ...

Noninvasive theta-burst stimulation of the human striatum enhances striatal activity and motor skill learning

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Elena Beanato, Fabienne Windel, Esra Neufeld, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Traian Popa

The stimulation of deep brain structures has thus far only been possible with invasive methods. Transcranial electrical temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) is a novel, noninvasive technology that might overcome this limitation. The initial proof-of-co ...

Examining the synergistic effects of a cognitive control video game and a home-based, self-administered non-invasive brain stimulation on alleviating depression: the DiSCoVeR trial protocol

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Roser Vinals Terres, Fabienne Windel, Rémy Marc M Gardier

Enhanced behavioral interventions are gaining increasing interest as innovative treatment strategies for major depressive disorder (MDD). In this study protocol, we propose to examine the synergistic effects of a self-administered home-treatment, encompass ...
