Brain stimulation for behavioral disorders in dogs

This lab is also conducting research on the brains of our dear four-legged friends. In this research, we look at what can we learn from dogs’ brains.

Using special imaging techniques, we look through your dog's head, right into his brain. This way, we can gain insight into why your dog does what he does. Current research focuses on dogs with post-traumatic stress and examines the effects of neuromodulatory treatment on these dogs.

Combining neurostimulation with group cognitive behavioral therapy to treat rumination

In this endeavor, we aim to investigate the efficacy of a collaborative treatment strategy that merges tDCS neurostimulation and talk therapy to ease rumination.

Non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve in the elderly depressed

The purpose of this project is to investigate whether the impacts of tVNS on depression among elderly individuals are influenced by a boost in noradrenaline.

Combining physical exercise and slow-paced breathing to improve stress recovery

Modern society is challenged by stress. Therefore, we investigate the combined effect of physical exercise and slow-paced breathing on stress response and reactivity.

The neural mechanisms underlying being criticized

Can you explain how the brain reacts to criticism in various groups, including those who are healthy and those who suffer from depression?

Exploring emotion regulation strategy deficiencies in high ruminators

A fNIRS study focused on the dlPFC and precuneus.

Association between tDCS electric field distribution and cognitive outcomes: a meta-modeling study

We aim to create a large dataset of individual participant data across studies to investigate how electric field distributions influence the modulatory effects of tDCS.

Exploring the efficacy of tDCS across depression symptom clusters

We investigate whether tDCS is more effective for specific symptoms of depression, and consequently, for specific individuals.
