Founder and director of the BRAI²N (Brain Research consortium for Advanced, Innovative & Interdisciplinary Neuromodulation).
His main interest is the understanding and treatment of phantom perceptions (sound, pain) and addiction, especially by use of functional imaging navigated non-invasive (TMS, tDCS, tACS, tRNS, LORETA neurofeedback) and invasive (implants) neuromodulation techniques. He has developed “burst” and “noise” stimulation as novel stimulation designs for implants, and is working on other stimulation designs.
He has published 35 book chapters, co-edited the Textbook of Tinnitus, and has authored or co-authored 245 papers of which 242 pubmed listed papers. 100 papers deal with phantom sound perception. He is reviewer for more than 80 journals.
