Ying Jing

Ying Jing is a doctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, affiliated with the Methods and Development Group Brain Networks and the International Max Planck Research School NeuroCom (IMPRS NeuroCom). Her research focuses on advanced neurostimulation techniques, particularly transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), combined with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate brain networks, motor cortex mapping, and functional connectivity. She explores applications in clinical neuroscience, including TMS-guided therapies for neurological and psychiatric conditions such as depression and motor disorders.

Key research interests include neuro-cardiac coupling mechanisms, spatial attention modulation via TMS, and the predictive role of resting-state fMRI in rTMS outcomes. Her work bridges experimental neurophysiology, computational modeling, and clinical translation. She is supported by the China Scholarship Council as a stipend holder.

Notably, her studies address discrepancies between task-based activation and TMS hotspots, refine targeting strategies for subthalamic nuclei in rTMS therapy, and model TMS effects on cortical-subcortical circuits. Her contributions advance both fundamental neuroscience and neuromodulation-based interventions.

No scientific awards or funded grants are explicitly stated. She collaborates within the Methods and Development Group Brain Networks, contributing to cutting-edge neuroimaging and stimulation methodologies.
