NIBS as a Research Tool in Clinical and Translational Neuroscience

Since the introduction of noninvasive transcranial brain stimulation techniques decades ago, these tools have been applied in both basic and clinical research, with the aims to enhance knowledge about the pathophysiology as well as to develop new treatment options for neurological and psychiatric diseases. In this chapter, we describe the implementation of these techniques to monitor and modulate neurophysiological processes in the human brain, which enables a better understanding of disease-related pathophysiology, and the development of therapeutic interventions.
