Research

My name is Eleonora Marcantoni and I am a PhD student in the MRC Doctoral Training Programme in Precision Medicine, at the University of Glasgow. My research focuses on brain oscillations and the potential for modulating their activity through neurostimulation to better understand their role in cognition and their potential as therapeutic targets.

I completed my MSc in Neuroscience at the University of Bologna, with a thesis focusing on the causal manipulation of alpha rhythms to understand their role in conscious visual perception, under the supervision of Professor Vincenzo Romei. Following this, I held a position as a research assistant at IRCCS San Giovanni di Dio Fatebenefratelli in Brescia, Italy (2021–2022), under the mentorship of Dr. Marta Bortoletto. During this time, I had the opportunity to expand her expertise in the field of neurostimulation (TMS-EEG) applied to healthy and clinical populations. In September 2022, I moved to the UK to join the lab of Prof. Simon Hanslmayr as a PhD student.
