Description
What if doctors could understand brain function in real time and predict which treatments will work before patients fail therapy?
In this video, Dr. Lundstrom discusses cortical excitability, a fundamental aspect of brain function that may help explain neurological conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain, headaches, and disorders of mood and thought. Learn how researchers are using non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS), to better understand and potentially treat brain disorders.
The conversation also explores the development of cortical excitability biomarkers, advanced neurophysiology tools like EEG and MEG, and the role of artificial intelligence in integrating complex brain data. Through the BIONIC Initiative, multidisciplinary teams are working together to advance bioelectronic medicine and transform the future of patient care.
