About

Alexander Rotenberg is a leading figure in clinical neurophysiology and noninvasive brain stimulation, with a primary focus on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and its applications in epilepsy and neuropsychiatric disorders. His most impactful contribution is co-authoring the landmark expert safety guidelines for TMS use in healthy subjects and patient populations, a consensus document endorsed by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN). This work, which has garnered over 1,470 citations, provides critical, updated recommendations on training, ethics, and regulatory issues, serving as the global standard for safe TMS practice. Beyond safety, Dr. Rotenberg has pioneered the use of repetitive TMS (rTMS) for seizure suppression and has advanced our understanding of brain stimulation mechanisms in developmental disorders. His research bridges basic neuroscience and clinical translation, with a citation record reflecting his profound influence on both the methodology and therapeutic reach of TMS. For students and researchers, his work is essential reading for anyone entering the field of noninvasive brain modulation.
