Live Webinar: Depression and TMS
NIMH
February 23, 2018
Join Bruce Luber, Ph.D., for a live webinar on depression and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Date/Time: March 21, 2018
Dr. Luber will discuss depression as a brain disorder, and you will learn about:
Dr. Luber is an Experimental Psychologist and Neuroscientist who received his PhD from New York University, where he used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to study the brain basis to spatial attention. Over the last 23 years, as a professor at Columbia and Duke Universities, and presently as a Staff Scientist at the NIMH in Bethesda, he has conducted brain stimulation research into the neurophysiological bases of cognition, memory, and perception, developing TMS paradigms, in conjunction with brain imaging and EEG, that target and modify specific brain networks in the hopes of reducing cognitive and memory deficits in aging and in psychiatric and neurological disease. Over the last three decades, he has also had a strong role in the development of the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), and TMS in the treatment of depression.
