The researchdivision, besides the Cognitive Neuroscience Section, includes the laboratoriesof Genetics, Neuropsychopharmacology, Neurobiology, Proteomic, Neuroimaging,Ethic and Epidemiology and employs about fifty professional researchers. The Cognitive Neuroscience Unit is provided with severalstate-of-the-art devices necessary for the application of brain stimulationtechniques (transcranial magnetic stimulation: TMS, rTMS, and transcranialelectrical stimulation: tDCS, tACS and tRNS) and for the recording and theanalysis of electrophysiological signals (EEG, EMG) as well asneuropsychological testing. The simultaneous co-registration ofelectroencephalography and TMS application is also available, field where wehave been pioneers in the national research.
