Andrea Antal

Prof. Andrea Antal is a Professor and Group Leader of the Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Laboratory at the Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Göttingen. Her work focuses on neuroplasticity and developing neuromodulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), alternating current stimulation (tACS), and random noise stimulation (tRNS). She investigates how these methods can treat neurological disorders such as chronic pain, depression, and Parkinson's disease.
