About
Lysianne Beynel is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research lies at the intersection of working memory, aging, and non-invasive brain stimulation. Her work primarily investigates how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate neural circuits underlying cognitive functions, particularly working memory and decision-making. Beynel’s most cited study (73 citations) demonstrated that online rTMS during a working memory task differentially affects younger and older adults, revealing age-specific neural dynamics. She has also pioneered methods to map cortical microcircuit properties using robotized TMS-EEG, advancing the field of functional cytoarchitectonics. Her research extends to testing network models of perceptual decision-making, using TMS to causally probe the lateral occipital cortex’s role in visual information accumulation. Beynel’s work is notable for its methodological rigor, combining fMRI-guided stimulation with behavioral paradigms like the numerical Stroop task to isolate site-specific effects. With over 150 total citations, her contributions are shaping our understanding of how targeted brain stimulation can enhance cognition in healthy aging and inform therapeutic interventions for age-related cognitive decline.
