Sven Bestmann - Publications#

Professor Bestmann’s research focuses on the non-invasive brain stimulation in health and disease, which has helped to understand the mechanistic basis of brain stimulation and its optimization for patient benefit. Professor’s Bestmann work on movement control and disorders of movement has been published in the highest-ranking journals in neuroscience, including Elife, PLoS Biology, Nature and Nature Communications, and he is well recognized as an extremely talented scientist with over 9000 citations and an h-factor of 45.
