Research Focus
Dr. Giuseppina Pilloni's research lab at NYU focuses on innovating noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, specifically transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), to improve treatment for neuropsychiatric symptoms like depression. The lab aims to integrate heart rate variability (HRV) as a biomarker to tailor tDCS therapies, making them more personalized and effective. By utilizing telehealth technologies, they seek to enhance accessibility and scalability of mental health interventions.
