About
Dr. Mayumi Toyama is a leading figure in non-invasive brain stimulation research, with a primary focus on the clinical applications of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Her most impactful contribution is the landmark 2020 paper, "Evidence-Based Guidelines and Secondary Meta-Analysis for the Use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders," which has garnered 592 citations. This work represents a pivotal synthesis of clinical trial data, providing rigorous, evidence-based recommendations that have shaped both clinical practice and future research protocols. By convening a team of experts to conduct a systematic review and secondary meta-analysis, Dr. Toyama addressed a critical gap in the field, moving tDCS from promising experimental therapy to a more standardized clinical tool. Her efforts have significantly advanced the understanding of tDCS efficacy across conditions like depression, pain, and stroke recovery. Through this foundational guideline, Dr. Toyama has established herself as a key architect in translating neurostimulation science into tangible therapeutic benefits, influencing a generation of clinicians and researchers.
