About

Annika A. de Goede is a neuroscientist advancing our understanding of human brain function through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG). Her research centers on cortical excitability—the delicate balance between excitation and inhibition that underpins healthy brain activity. She has made major contributions to methodological rigor in TMS research, demonstrating that accurate coil positioning is critical for reliable single and paired-pulse TMS measurements at the individual subject level (41 citations). Her work further explores the spatiotemporal dynamics of TMS-evoked brain responses using combined TMS-EEG, revealing how inhibitory and excitatory networks interact over time (22 citations). Notably, de Goede has established the repeatability of long intracortical inhibition measures in healthy subjects (16 citations), providing essential validation for longitudinal studies tracking changes in cortical excitability. This foundational work is vital for translating TMS from research into clinical applications, such as monitoring neurological disorders or guiding therapeutic interventions. Her careful, methodical approach ensures that TMS-based assessments are both reliable and interpretable, making her a key figure in non-invasive brain stimulation research.
