Jean Rintoul

Project Title: Non-invasive focused stimulation of neural activity
Supervisor: Dr Nir Grossman
Location: Level 5, Burlington Danes Building, Hammersmith Campus, Du Cane Road, W12 0NN

About me

I am a PhD student in the Grossman lab, within the Department of Brain Sciences at Imperial College London. My goal is to help pioneer new routes in non-invasive neural imaging and stimulation utilizing cutting edge physics, innovating better tools to understand the brain and nervous system. Better tools will give us a better understanding of the mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease, enabling earlier and more effective interventions.
