About

Olli-Pekka Kahilakoski is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, electronics, and non-invasive brain stimulation, with a focused expertise in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) systems engineering. His work centers on advancing multi-locus TMS (mTMS), a cutting-edge technique that enables precise electronic control of cortical stimulation targets without requiring physical coil repositioning. Kahilakoski's most influential contribution — his 2024 paper on a robotic-electronic TMS targeting platform, already amassing 20 citations — introduced an automated system that substantially improves both the safety and reproducibility of brain stimulation protocols. Building on this foundation, he has characterized the performance boundaries of combined electronic-robotic platforms and developed Bayesian optimization strategies to further refine stimulation targeting. His open-source software project, NeuroSimo, reflects a commitment to democratizing closed-loop EEG- and EMG-guided TMS research by freeing investigators from proprietary hardware constraints. With a growing citation record across multiple high-impact publications between 2024 and 2025, Kahilakoski represents an emerging voice shaping the future of precision neurostimulation technology, making sophisticated brain stimulation tools more accessible, accurate, and scientifically rigorous for the broader research community.
