Biography

Peter Tass investigates and develops neuromodulation techniques for understanding and treating neurologic conditions, including Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, dysfunction, stroke, and tinnitus. He creates both invasive and non-invasive therapeutic procedures through comprehensive computational neuroscience studies and advanced data analysis techniques. His studies in computational neuroscience guide experiments that employ clinical electrophysiology measures, high-density EEG recordings, and MRI imaging to assess outcome measures. He has pioneered a neuromodulation approach based on thorough computational modeling that employs dynamic self-organization and plasticity principles of neuromodulation to produce sustained effects from stimulation. His research focuses on investigating stimulation effects on disease-related brain activity and developing stimulation methods that cause sustained neural desynchronization and unlearning of abnormal synaptic interactions. Dr. Tass performs and contributes to both pre-clinical and clinical research in these areas.
