The central aim of the Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation (LCNS) is to use noninvasive neuromodulation techniques to develop novel interventions to rehabilitate intellectual abilities in patients suffering from neurologic diseases that affect cognition. Our lab primarily uses non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to influence a range of mental abilities including language, executive function, spatial reasoning, and sensory-motor interactions. Current active protocols are investigating 1) the effects of TMS on speech production in post-stroke aphasia, 2) the effectiveness of tDCS combined with speech therapy on improving language functioning in Primary Progressive Aphasia, and 3) the use of virtual reality as a therapeutic tool to alleviate pain associated with phantom limb. The LCNS is located in the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania, but also has a second lab site at the Penn Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine. The lab is under the direction of Dr. Roy Hamilton, and Associate Professor of Neurology and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
