Course description
Methodological aspects of human research with transcranial electrical stimulation (tES)Instructor:
Dr. Md Ali Salehinejad is a cognitive neuroscientist at the Department of Psychology and Neurosciences at ifADo, Germany, working with Prof. Michael Nitsche. His background is in Clinical Psychology and Cognitive Psychology (University of Kansas, 2015). He completed his Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience under the supervision of Prof. Michael Nitsche in 2020 in ifADo which is a world-leading and reference lab in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation. For his doctorate thesis, he investigated the impact of circadian factors on human brain physiology and cognition using brain stimulation (tDCS, TMS), neuroimaging (EEG), and cognitive measures. He has published more than 45 peer-reviewed articles and 4 book chapters related to these topics. His works related to brain stimulation are published in journals including Nature Communications, Brain Stimulation, The Journal of Physiology, Neuroscience Bulletin, Neuroscience, Cerebral Cortex, Journal of Affective Disorders, Autism Research, and Clinical Neurophysiology. He also serves in the editorials of BMC Neuroscience, PLoS one, and Brain Sciences journals.

Workshop description:
In this webinar, methodological aspects of research with transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) will be briefly covered. Research with tES has grown exponentially in recent years, especially in the fields of systems, cognitive and clinical neurosciences, psychology, and rehabilitation sciences. However, there is variability in behavioral, physiological, and therapeutic responses to tES. The variability comes from both inter-individual variability and methodological flaws/discrepancy. We mention some important methodological aspects that should be complied with in human research of tES.
