Exciting news in the field of psychiatry and biomedical engineering! A recent $4 million grant has been awarded to advance transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technologies, with the potential to revolutionize the treatment of psychiatric disorders.
Led by Associate Professor and MnDRIVE Brain Conditions Scholar, Dr. Alexander Opitz (Department of Biomedical Engineering), this groundbreaking project aims to develop innovative TMS technologies that could bring new hope to those struggling with mental health conditions.
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain areas involved in various psychiatric disorders. By advancing this technology, researchers hope to improve treatment outcomes and offer new options for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions.
This significant grant represents a major step forward in the pursuit of more effective and personalized treatments for psychiatric disorders. We're eager to see the impact of this research on the lives of those affected by these conditions.
