Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS in short, is a form of brain stimulation that uses pulses of magnetism to activate or silence parts of the brain. We use TMS to change the way the brain works, and in specific, we use TMS as an investigational tool in zero gravity environments and as a potential treatment for cocaine use disorder (CUD).

Sound is a powerful tool - not only can we use it to listen to our favorite songs or podcasts, but you can actually deliver sound deep into the brain to change the way neurons function. We are using ultrasound in a variety of different applications, including addictions and pain.

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation, or taVNS in short, is a form of electrical stimulation delivered to the ear. It’s safe, wearable, and easy to administer. We have been pioneering ear stimulation wearables for a decade, and use this technology to boost neuroplasticity after brain injury and treat neuropsychiatric and pain conditions.

Everyone knows that meditating is good for you. The problem is that meditation takes a lot of time, dedication, and practice to see the positive health benefits. Neuro-X Lab is developing technology to to enhance meditation practice and give meditators a unique experience.

Our Computational Brain Imaging Core provides a high-throughput, functional MRI (fMRI) preprocessing service to the MUSC research community and beyond. Leveraging high-performance resources at Clemson University, we offer a fast, reliable high-quality service to preprocess fMRI data for further analysis

There is a clear value of computational forward models in informing brain stimulation approaches. Modeling the electrical fields of brain stimulation interventions allows for the customization and individualization of precision brain treatments. This technique will become the standard to inform the optimization of clinical trials of brain stimulation.
