معرفی
Nigel Rogasch is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow in the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University, Australia. His research focuses on understanding dynamic brain organization using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with EEG and MRI to probe cortical excitability, inhibitory mechanisms, connectivity, and neuroplasticity in both healthy and clinical populations, particularly schizophrenia.
His research interests include:
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and concurrent TMS-EEG
- Brain oscillations and cortical network dynamics
- Neuroplasticity and GABAergic inhibition
- Working memory and cognitive control
- Neural mechanisms underlying schizophrenia and psychosis
- Development of neuroimaging data analysis tools (e.g., RELAX pipeline)
The most recent articles highlight a strong trend in developing and validating automated EEG data processing methods (e.g., RELAX), investigating neurophysiological biomarkers for depression treatment response using TMS-EEG, and exploring neural correlates of meditation and cognitive control. His work bridges cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychiatry, and computational methods, contributing to both basic science and translational applications.

Nigel Rogasch has been actively involved in research grants and projects funded by the NHMRC and the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation. He has led key projects such as Assessing GABAergic dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex of people with schizophrenia and Characterising and modulating corticostriatal connectivity in schizophrenia. He has also contributed as a Chief Investigator to collaborative initiatives like the Portable Neurophysiological Assessment Suite and the Brain Stimulation Equipment Suite grant. While no formal students are listed, his collaborative projects suggest mentorship and team leadership roles.
He is affiliated with the Brain and Mental Health (BMH) Laboratory at Monash University, where he contributes to interdisciplinary research integrating neurostimulation, neuroimaging, and psychiatric disorders. His work emphasizes reproducible neuroimaging and portable assessment tools, indicating a forward-looking approach to scalable and accessible brain health technologies.
