I have over 10 years experience working in research using tools such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalograpy (EEG), and direct current stimulation along with screen based and psychometric testing to investigate various aspects of cognition, ageing, stroke, pain and tinnitus. 
 
My PhD thesis investigated high-definition direct current stimulation influence on tinnitus symptoms and brain activity using EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
