Next-generation noninvasive neurostimulation technologies for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders
| Supervisor | Prof. Eric Glowacki, Ph.D. |
| Research Group | Bioelectronics Materials and Devices |
This fellowship offers the opportunity to join a collaboration between the Applied Neurosciences group at Masaryk University (Prof. Irena Rektorová) and the Bioelectronics Materials and Devices team at Brno University of Technology (Prof. Eric Glowacki).
Our research focuses on developing novel noninvasive electrical stimulation methods for the central and peripheral nervous systems, using advanced high-frequency (kHz) supraphysiological waveforms aimed at improving treatments for Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders.
We combine clinical studies in patients and healthy volunteers, preclinical animal experiments, and in vitro biophysics with theory and computational modelling. Our teams have access to advanced electrophysiology, medical imaging, and unique opportunities to work with patients carrying deep brain stimulation (DBS) implants, enabling both acute and chronic recordings from implanted electrodes.
A successful fellowship can be tailored to individual expertise, ranging from theoretical and computational modelling, through fundamental biophysics of kHz stimulation, to preclinical electrophysiology and clinical studies with human participants.
