Transcranial stimulation comprises an important set of techniques for investigating brain function, some of which are showing the promise of treating disease. This book provides the definitive review of the scientific and technical background required to understand transcranial stimulation, for neuroscientists, neurologists, and psychiatrists.


Dr. Wassermann is a clinical neurologist and neurophysiologist and a leading expert in the uses of transcranial brain stimulation to measure and modulate brain function. His research interests include neurobehavioral disorders and the control of action and emotion by the frontal lobe. He heads the Brain Stimulation Unit at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and serves as a Senior Medical Advisor on chemical terrorism in the Office of the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. The rest of the time, he can be found sailing or at home with his family. Tomás Paus is Professor and Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Nottingham, and Adjunct Professor in the Dept of Neurology & Neurosurgery and the Dept of Psychology at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. His research concerns the structural and functional organization of the human cerebral cortex and its maturation during adolescence. The main strategies employed in this research are: (1) in vivo morphometry using structural magnetic-resonance imaging; (2) in vivo assessment of cortical connectivity and excitability with transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with brain imaging; and (3) multi-modal mapping of brain-behaviour relationships in the adult and adolescent brain. Prof. Paus is an elected member of the International Neuropsychology Symposium, served on the Governing Council of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping and currently serves as the President of the International Society for Behavioural Neuroscience. Sarah H. Lisanby, MD, is Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Columbia University. In addition, she is Director of the Division of Brain Stimulation and Therapeutic Modulation at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, head of the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Unit in the fMRI Research Center at Columbia, and the New York Presbyterian Hospital Brain Stimulation Service. She is also Director of the Brain Behavior Clinic at NYSPI.
