About

Julien Lamy is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and neuroscience, whose work is transforming Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) into a precise, automated clinical tool. His key research areas include robotic-assisted neuromodulation, brain stimulation for psychiatric disorders, and personalized treatment protocols. Lamy’s major contribution is the development and clinical validation of a custom robotic system for TMS, as detailed in his most-cited paper (2013, 31 citations). This work demonstrated that robotic coil positioning significantly improves stimulation accuracy, repeatability, and patient comfort compared to manual neuronavigation—a breakthrough for reliable brain mapping and treatment. His 2012 study (3 citations) further established that robotic assistance enhances patient comfort during procedures. Notably, Lamy is pushing boundaries with a 2025 proof-of-concept trial (1 citation) that individualizes rTMS for treatment-resistant depression using patient-specific perfusion abnormalities, comparing outcomes against standard rTMS and tDCS. This forward-looking work highlights his commitment to precision psychiatry. With a career spanning foundational robotics to cutting-edge personalized interventions, Lamy’s research is shaping the future of non-invasive brain stimulation, making therapies more effective and accessible for patients with neurological and psychiatric conditions.
