Motor Control group (MMC) uses Non Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) to modulate human cortical brain processing and functions. Our group uses NIBS to increase cortical excitability which may have a huge impact in rehabilitation of patients with motor deficits. It is possible to apply transcranial electrical current (tDCS, tACS) to target specific brain regions or networks of regions in order to increase behavioural performance in healthy humans. This principle has been shown to be valid also in clinical populations of patients. Motion tracking research, NIBS, motor imagery, mirror neurons, motor plasticity, gender excitability indexes are the main topics of our group.

Current projects
Project 1: Genetic Influence on cortical plasticity by NIBS.
A project that will test different polymorphisms influence on cortical plasticity changes of the motor and memory systems.
Project 2: Effects of different type of TES waveform and/or time of stimulation on the brain cortex.
A methodological project that aims to understand online/offline effects, high definition and conventional montage and different influence of waveform by different type of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation.
Project 3: Effects of tACS and/or tDCS on the sensorimotor system.
Investigation of the mirror system by learning processes influence: a TMS study.
