About
Hamish P. D. Godfrey is a leading figure in pediatric neuromodulation, whose work has fundamentally advanced the safe application of non-invasive brain stimulation in children. His research centers on the neurophysiology of the developing brain and the therapeutic potential of techniques like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Godfrey’s most impactful contribution is a landmark safety study, "Safety and tolerability of transcranial magnetic and direct current stimulation in children," which analyzed data from over 3.5 million stimulations. This prospective, single-center evidence, cited over 160 times, established critical safety parameters for pediatric populations, directly enabling broader clinical and research use. By systematically demonstrating tolerability and low adverse event rates, Godfrey’s work dismantled key barriers to studying brain stimulation in children, paving the way for novel treatments in neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. His rigorous approach has made him a trusted authority, shaping ethical guidelines and inspiring a new generation of researchers to explore neuromodulation’s potential in younger patients.
