Research Lab for Stimulation of the Brain

FLaSH - ForskningsLab for Stimulering av Hjernen

FlaSH is a research group founded in 2016 (under the umbrella of the Bergen fMRI group) with a main interest in brain stimulation. Our primary goal is to uncover the treatment potential of brain stimulation techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). In addition, by combining these techniques with neuroimaging, we aim to reveal the neuronal mechanisms that underlie brain stimulation treatments.

Currently, our main focus lies how to use tDCS for reducing auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. Please read more about our STOPP STEMMER project in the research section.
