About
Alexandre Obrecht is a neuroscientist advancing precision neuromodulation for psychiatric disorders. His research focuses on integrating robotic technology and patient-specific brain imaging to optimize transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocols. Obrecht’s key contributions include developing a 3D-mapping framework for TMS effects using automatic robotic placement, which significantly improves reliability and reduces spurious correlations in brain stimulation studies (2022, 8 citations). His most recent work, a proof-of-concept randomized trial (2025), demonstrates the potential of individualizing repetitive TMS (rTMS) for treatment-resistant depression by targeting patient-specific perfusion abnormalities, comparing this personalized approach to standard rTMS and tDCS. This study marks a critical step toward tailoring neuromodulation to individual neurophysiology, addressing the high variability in treatment outcomes. Obrecht’s integration of robotics and functional imaging not only enhances experimental rigor but also paves the way for more effective, patient-centered interventions in clinical psychiatry. His work is particularly impactful for researchers exploring the intersection of neuroimaging, brain stimulation, and personalized medicine.
