About
Sylvain Harquel is a leading researcher in non-invasive brain stimulation, specializing in the integration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with electroencephalography (EEG). His work centers on developing reproducible, automated, and high-precision methods to probe cortical excitability and functional connectivity. Harquel’s major contributions include pioneering robotized TMS-EEG protocols that enable reliable mapping of cortical microcircuit properties, moving beyond traditional motor-evoked potentials to capture input-output dynamics across the brain. His highly cited 2019 study (152 citations) critically addressed reproducibility challenges in TMS-EEG, advocating for standardized procedures and data sharing—a call that has shaped best practices in the field. He also developed automated set-up procedures (31 citations) that reduce human error and enhance experimental consistency. Notably, his multi-scale TMS mapping approach has been applied to patients with Parkinson’s disease and deep brain stimulation (2023), demonstrating translational potential. With over 300 total citations, Harquel’s work bridges methodological rigor and clinical application, making him a key figure in advancing TMS-EEG as a reliable tool for functional neuroimaging and personalized neuromodulation.
