About
Wooseok Ryu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and noninvasive brain stimulation, whose work is transforming the precision and efficacy of neuropsychiatric treatments. His primary research areas include robotic positioning systems for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ultrasonic neuromodulation, with a focus on developing automated solutions that overcome the limitations of manual coil placement. Ryu’s major contributions include the creation of a parallel robotic positioning system with a specific workspace for brain stimulation, a spherical positioning robot integrated with neuro-navigation for precise and repetitive targeting, and a robotic TMS system piloted in depression treatment. His most cited work, “Robotic transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of depression: a pilot study” (2023, 11 citations), demonstrates the clinical potential of his innovations. Beyond TMS, he has advanced a phased array ultrasound system with a robotic arm for neuromodulation, addressing positioning errors in ultrasonic stimulation. With a growing citation impact, Ryu’s work is foundational for the next generation of automated, high-precision brain stimulation therapies, offering hope for more effective treatments in psychiatry and neurology.
