About
Dr. Zafiris J. Daskalakis is a leading figure in the neuropsychiatric application of brain stimulation, with a primary focus on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and its role in understanding and treating severe mental illness. His research has fundamentally advanced the use of TMS as both a therapeutic tool and a probe of cortical inhibition and plasticity in disorders like schizophrenia and major depression. A landmark contribution is his leadership in the 2021 expert consensus on TMS safety, updating the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) guidelines to ensure ethical and regulatory best practices for both healthy subjects and patient populations. This work, which has garnered significant attention, provides the critical framework for the field's continued expansion. Dr. Daskalakis’s impact is further underscored by his extensive publication record, with his most-cited papers accumulating thousands of citations, reflecting his role as a key architect of modern brain stimulation protocols. His work bridges the gap between basic neurophysiology and clinical application, making him an essential voice for any researcher or clinician exploring the therapeutic potential of non-invasive brain stimulation.
