So this is what I do alongside studying Psychology at #UQ ! As a TMS technician at Queensland Neurostimulation Centre it’s amazing to be part of delivering this groundbreaking treatment for depression in Brisbane and contributing to learning more about it. Check out the video below!

Very cool to think of Andrew Zalesky Robin Cash as engineers bringing their unique perspectives to neuroscience and then translating their ideas into the clinic. It’s a unique take on the “multi-disciplinary” team we have here!

Dr ROBIN CASH Robin Cash is a rising star in brain stim

Robin's TMS personalization tech is now used clinically at the QLD Neurostim Centre Queensland Neurostimulation Centre

Robin will present an update on Weds May 25 at 12pm (Melbourne time) Join us!

UniMelb MDHS Looking forward to undertaking this research within UniMelb MDHS, UnimelbBME, Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre, Queensland Neurostimulation Centre

World-class research and clinical facilities

New funding to study high-tech psychiatric therapies 🧠

A/Prof Andrew Zalesky has been awarded the prestigious Rebecca L Cooper Fellowship to conduct fundamental research on the human brain in health and mental illnesses 👏

unimelb.me/3vio8DS

The latest version of the #BrainDynamicsToolbox (2022a) is now available for download from bdtoolbox.org. New features include the #Jacobian and its #eigenvalues . Plus worked examples from Steven Strogatz textbook on #NonlinearDynamics and Chaos.

Very humbled to receive the 2022 RLC Fellowship

Our group will receive $1.35M to extend research on the human connectome in health & mental illness

We aim to study and harness individual brain variability to engineer precision brain-based therapeutics

Huge congratulations to Andrew Zalesky. You are an asset to our team - so lucky to have a scientist of this calibre.

Interested in genetic risk-factors leading to deviations in structural connectome development and psychopathology in adolescence🧠📈?

In clinics, a lot of people with bipolar disorder + their relatives seek more precise information about their future risk than the generic 'increased familial risk'
This study - taking 10 years - followed the trajectory of young people at high risk of bipolar disorder

Advancing clinical translation in TMS is built on science like this. Congratulations Kartik Iyer and our own Luca Cocchi @LukeJHearne. This study shows how distributed patterns of brain activity balance local neural perturbations (e.g. TMS) to preserve cognition/behaviour.

Our new study on how focal neural perturbations reshape low-dimensional whole-brain trajectories of activity supporting cognitive performance, is now out in Nature Communications Springer Nature. With Luca Cocchi, Mac Shine, Kai Hwang

Another excellent example of how consistent the subgenual cingulate finding is in depression and how well poised neurostimulation is to leverage this mechanistic link in the clinical setting for personalisation.

Thank you for the training Axilum Robotics and MagVenture UK Ltd.

Queensland Neurostimulation Centre have the only TMS Cobot in Australia. Luca Cocchi insisted on having it - glad he did.

My first tweet, my first PhD paper, published in TranslationalPsychiatry!
