About
Debora Desideri is a leading voice in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation, with a primary focus on the methodological rigor of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electroencephalography (EEG). Her most cited work, a 2019 study on reproducibility in TMS–EEG, has garnered 152 citations, underscoring its critical impact. In this landmark paper, Desideri and her colleagues issued a vital call for data sharing, standardized procedures, and effective experimental controls to address inherent ambiguities in TMS-evoked potentials. Her major contribution lies in identifying and mitigating the "non-transcranial" artifacts that can confound TMS-EEG results, thereby strengthening the reliability of this powerful technique for studying brain connectivity and plasticity. Beyond this, her research advances our understanding of how TMS interacts with neural tissue, pushing the field toward more reproducible and interpretable findings. For students and researchers, Desideri’s work is essential reading—a rigorous guide to avoiding pitfalls in brain stimulation studies and a model for how methodological transparency can drive scientific progress.
