This comprehensive volume delves into various techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation. It highlights their application in understanding psychophysiology and enhancing cognitive performance in both experimental models and healthy individuals. Such methods offer substantial promise in unraveling the complexities of neural network dynamics and cognitive functions. In addition to discussing foundational methods and experimental models, the book also explores therapeutic applications for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.
These multimodal brain stimulation approaches present innovative avenues for potential treatments. By integrating both theoretical and practical perspectives, this handbook not only reviews existing data but also opens new horizons for future research and clinical applications, providing invaluable insights for professionals in the field.

Alexander T. Sack
Alexander T. Sack graduated from Frankfurt University, Germany with a Master of Science in Psychology (2000) and PhD in Natural Sciences (2003). He completed several international postdoctoral and academic research positions before being appointed as Professor of Brain Stimulation and Applied Cognitive Neuroscience at the Faculty of Psychology & Neuroscience, Maastricht University, The Netherlands in 2011. As the Principal Investigator of the research section “Brain Stimulation and Cognition” at the Maastricht Brain Imaging Centre, his research focuses on the neurobiological and psychological principles underlying attention, learning, memory, and cognitive control; combining various brain research techniques, ranging from psychophysics and eye-tracking, to functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electroencephalography (EEG), and Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS). His group pioneered the development of simultaneously implemented TMS-fMRI-EEG during cognitive behavior, allowing to apply brain-stimulation while recording the individual brain network (fMRI) and oscillation (EEG) responses of cognitively engaged participants. This multimodal brain stimulation approach allows to investigate the neural network dynamics underlying human cognition in healthy volunteers and to translate these findings into clinical applications for treating various neurological and neuropsychiatric brain disorders.
