Carlo Miniussi

About

Carlo Miniussi is a leading figure in cognitive neuroscience, whose work has fundamentally shaped the safe and effective application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). His primary research focuses on the neurophysiology of human cognition, particularly using TMS combined with electroencephalography (EEG) to explore brain plasticity, memory, and perception. Miniussi’s most impactful contribution is his leadership in establishing the international safety guidelines for TMS use, as detailed in his highly cited 2020 expert consensus paper (over 1,470 citations). This work provides critical protocols for both healthy subjects and patient populations, addressing training, ethical, and regulatory issues. He has also been a vocal advocate for methodological rigor in TMS-EEG research, co-authoring a seminal 2019 paper that calls for standardized procedures and data sharing to ensure reproducibility. By bridging clinical safety with cutting-edge neurophysiological techniques, Miniussi has enabled researchers worldwide to explore brain function with greater precision and confidence, cementing his legacy as a guardian of both scientific integrity and participant welfare in non-invasive brain stimulation.
