Principal Investigator – Joshua Brown, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and Neurology
Dr. Brown is in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health and a secondary appointment in Neurology at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University. My ambition is to understand how the brain works from a behavioral to a molecular level. The BBSL is dedicated to understanding how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) changes the brain in a lasting and therapeutic way. I work alongside experts in electroencephalography (EEG) analysis, computational modeling, and cellular work in animal models. An understanding of TMS mechanisms is necessary to determine optimal stimulation parameters for clinical use. The lab uses pharmacology, neurophysiology (electromyography (EMG) and EEG with TMS in healthy humans and clinical patients.
