Xavier Corominas
I am a Ph.D. candidate conducting his neuroscientific research at the Paris Brain Institute, Hôpital Universitaire Pitié-Salpêtrière – APHP, Sorbonne Université (FRONTLAB/MOVIT group), and the Health, Psychology, and Psychiatry department of Rovira i Virgili University (Neurolab group, Tarragona, Spain). My current work focuses on developing personalized brain stimulation solutions for circuit-based therapeutics. My research interests lie in the development and application of image-optimized non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to casually explore neurophysiological and behavioral correlates of brain disorders and implement new therapeutic solutions to the clinical arena.
During my previous training in Clinical Neuroscience (M.Sc.) and throughout my Ph.D., I have led and contributed to projects investigating the biological effects of very weak magnetic fields on the human brain, the role of cerebello-thalamo-cortical oscillatory communication in reward-based motor learning, the role of prefrontal oscillatory activity in mind-wandering, developed technical advanced tools for data analysis combining electric-field modeling with EEG, and participated in preclinical projects involving brain stimulation and multimodal imaging in post-stroke motor-visual disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
At Prof. Til Ole Bergmann’s lab, I will primarily contribute to develop and experimentally test closed-loop transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) for neuromodulation.
