Welcome to our research group for neurostimulation and brain imaging.
We explore the complexity of the brain with modern technology. Our group is led by associate professor Leif Oltedal together with associate professor Olga Therese Ousdal (imaging) and associate professor Ute Kessler (clinical).
NBiG is an active group with about 15 researchers and dedicated master/PhD students who investigate the mechanisms of action for neurostimulation treatments.
By conducting longitudinal treatment studies, investigating data from treatment registries and biobanks as well as through extensive international collaboration, our aim is to uncover the neurobiological underpinning of effects and side-effects of neurostimulation treatment methods.
