Stephanie Gotsis

Dr. Stephanie Gotsis is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Medicine and Psychology, The Australian National University (ANU), specializing in clinical neuroscience and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for psychiatric treatment.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Psychology, The Australian National University (2023)
• Master of Neuroscience, The Australian National University (2014)
• Graduate Diploma in Psychology, Bond University (2013)
• Bachelor of Psychology, LaTrobe University (2011)
• Fellow of the Higher Education Academy

Dr. Gotsis's research centers on transcranial electrical and magnetic stimulation, investigating neural noise modulation, theta activity, and neurophysiological-behavioral relationships. Her work targets depression, OCD, and PTSD treatment development, bridging experimental psychology with clinical applications through advanced neuroimaging and computational modeling.

Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals a strategic focus on systematic reviews of neuromodulation efficacy and psychedelic-assisted therapies. Key trends include transcranial random noise stimulation optimization, EEG/fMRI-based functional connectivity mapping in OCD, and safety profiling of psilocybin protocols, demonstrating a trajectory toward evidence-based neuromodulation frameworks.

She serves as Co-Investigator on the SOOTHE project (2025-2030), examining cost-effectiveness of MDMA and psilocybin psychotherapy for mental health disorders under Professor Paul Fitzgerald's leadership.
