Emiliano Santarnecchi, PhD.
Instructor in Neurology, Harvard Medical School
Co-Director, Brain Investigation and Neuromodulation Laboratory, University of Siena, Italy

Emiliano is currently an Instructor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston (MA, USA), a Clinical research scientist at the Berenson-Allen Center for Non-invasive Brain Stimulation (Beth Israel Medical Deaconess Center, Boston, MA, USA), the director of the CME course in Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) at Harvard Medical School, and the director of the Brain Investigation and Neuromodulation laboratory at the School of Medicine of the University of Siena, Italy. His main interests lie in the combination of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS), electrophysiology (e.g. EEG, MEG) and neuroimaging (e.g. fMRI) to modulate brain connectivity and measure brain's capacity to respond to external perturbation. He is particularly interested in the application of oscillatory electrical fields (e.g. transcranial alternating current stimulation - tACS) to induce long-lasting changes in brain oscillations which might translate into therapeutic options for neurological and psychiatric patients.
