About
Spencer T. Brinker is a pioneering researcher in the field of multimodal non-invasive brain stimulation, with a focus on advancing open-source technologies for neuromodulation. His key research areas include focused ultrasound (FUS) stimulation, neuronavigation, and the integration of imaging tools for precision neuroscience. Brinker’s most notable contribution is his 2019 work introducing the use of open-source neuronavigation software, specifically 3D Slicer, for multimodal non-invasive brain stimulation. This groundbreaking approach enables researchers to precisely target brain regions using FUS and other modalities, democratizing access to advanced neuromodulation techniques by eliminating reliance on proprietary, costly systems. While his citation count of 6 reflects the early stage of this emerging field, his work has been instrumental in lowering barriers to entry for labs worldwide. Brinker’s achievement lies in bridging surgical navigation and non-invasive stimulation, fostering reproducibility and collaboration. His research holds promise for treating neurological disorders, and his commitment to open-source tools underscores a vision of accessible, cutting-edge neuroscience for all.
