Nigel Rogasch

Dr. Nigel Rogasch is an ARC Externally-Funded Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide's School of Biomedicine within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. He is affiliated with the SAHMRI (South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute) and the Adelaide Health & Medical Sciences Building (AHMS). His primary research focuses on combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with neuroimaging techniques (EEG, MRI) to investigate brain dynamics, plasticity, and their roles in healthy and disordered cognition.

Research Interests:

• Understanding mechanisms of working memory and short-term memory
• Developing TMS-EEG methods to study cortical networks
• Exploring excitation/inhibition imbalances in schizophrenia and other mental illnesses
• Modeling how brain stimulation interacts with cortical circuits

His work emphasizes translational applications of brain stimulation in clinical settings, such as treating aphasia and autism spectrum disorder. He actively supervises Honours and HDR students in cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, and engineering-related fields.

Labs & Teams: Brain stimulation, imaging and cognition group at SAHMRI and AHMS.
