Biography

Jessica M. Ross is an Instructor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. Her research focuses on the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) to explore neuromodulation-based psychiatric treatments. Dr. Ross investigates aberrant brain plasticity, cortical reactivity, and connectivity in both older adults and healthy adults suffering from cognitive disorders. After completing her postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School's Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and at Stanford's Sierra Pacific Mental Illness Research Education Clinical Centers, she aims to utilize her findings to develop innovative and personalized brain stimulation treatments for various cognitive disorders. Dr. Ross is also involved in research that examines the relationship between different brain stimulation techniques and changes in brain activity, particularly in adult military veterans. She emphasizes the importance of understanding these changes to create tailored therapeutic interventions.
