Ole Numssen

Ole Numssen is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Research Group Cognition and Plasticity at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. His work focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS) combined with neuroimaging (fMRI, EEG) to study neural networks related to language, cognition, and motor function.

• Institution: Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences
• Group Affiliation: Methods and Development Group Brain Networks

His research emphasizes:

• Electric field modeling for precise TMS dosing
• State-dependent network adaptations
• Motor cortex mapping using multichannel TMS
• Neuro-cardiac interactions during brain stimulation
• Causal connectivity in language networks

Recent publications highlight methodological advancements in TMS, including coil positioning accuracy and field distortion modeling, alongside applications in cognitive domains like memory suppression and sentence processing. He actively develops open-source tools for TMS optimization, such as magicPy and pyNIBS.
