About

Silvia Casarotto is a leading neuroscientist whose work sits at the intersection of consciousness research and neurostimulation. Her primary research areas focus on the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) to probe brain connectivity and states of consciousness. Casarotto has made major contributions to the methodological rigor of TMS-EEG, most notably through her highly cited 2019 paper on reproducibility, which has garnered over 150 citations. This work called for standardized procedures and effective experimental controls, addressing critical ambiguities in the field and helping to establish TMS-EEG as a reliable tool for clinical and research applications. Her impact is evident in the widespread adoption of these standards, which have improved the validity of studies exploring brain dynamics in conditions ranging from disorders of consciousness to psychiatric illnesses. Casarotto’s research has been instrumental in developing perturbational approaches to measure consciousness, and her work continues to shape how scientists understand the neural correlates of conscious experience, making her a key figure in modern cognitive neuroscience.
