DESCRIPTION:Prof. Nici Wenderoth\, ETH Zurich\, CH.\nOperant conditioning 
 based on neurofeedback is increasingly used in both basic research and neu
 rorehabilitation. Electroencephalography (EEG) is likely the most popular 
 non-invasive modality for neurofeedback in humans\, but applications are c
 hallenged by a low signal-to-noise ratio and poor anatomical and functiona
 l specificity. Here I will present an alternative approach where we apply 
 transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in a non-invasive neurofeedback co
 ntext. I will show (i) that healthy participants can learn to volitionally
  up- or down-regulate the state of their motor system and elucidate which 
 neurophysiological mechanisms mediate this effect\; (ii) how this approach
  can be extended to decoding intended finger and hand movements\; and (iii
 ) that TMS neurofeedback training is feasible in stroke patients. \n\nBio
 . Professor Nici Wenderoth is full professor for Neural Control of Movemen
 t in the Department for Health Sciences and Technology at ETH Zurich\, Swi
 tzerland. Her main research focus is on human systems neuroscience. Additi
 onally\, she actively pursues translational research in animal models and 
 clinical applications. She is currently Director of the Institute of Human
  Movement Sciences and Sport\, Director of the interdisciplinary Future He
 alth Technologies research programme at the Singapore-ETH Campus and Presi
 dent of the Betty and David Koetser Foundation for Brain Research.\n
