My PhD thesis project focuses on non-invasive brain stimulation for treating Chronic Low Back Pain. Specifically, I am conducting a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to evaluate the effects of an active physiotherapy program combined with transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Pain, Resting State EEG activity, and an EMG biomarker: the Flexion Relaxation Phenomenon. Then we would also like to determine different low back pain phenotypes.

Doctoral researcher primarily investigating the use of neurofeedback in combination with virtual reality technology to aid chronic pain. Project is still very early stage and under development, there are aims to use motion capture data and biomechanical analysis to investigate any physical improvements besides reduction in pain too.
