About

Stefan Schoisswohl is a researcher advancing the precision and reliability of non-invasive brain stimulation, with a focus on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) methodology. His primary research areas include motor cortex mapping, neuromodulation protocols, and the optimization of TMS parameters to reduce variability in clinical and experimental applications. Schoisswohl’s major contribution is the development of the **Semi-automated Motor Hotspot Search (SAMHS)** framework, a standardized approach for identifying motor hotspots—a critical first step in determining motor threshold and stimulation intensity for TMS. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered **10 citations**, reflecting its growing influence in the field. By addressing the subjectivity and variability introduced by experimenter experience, SAMHS enhances reproducibility in TMS research. Additionally, his 2025 study on the **influence of current direction during 1 Hz motor cortex rTMS** (3 citations) explores how stimulation orientation affects neuromodulatory aftereffects, contributing to efforts to improve the replicability of rTMS outcomes. Schoisswohl’s work is particularly notable for its practical, methodological focus, offering tools and insights that directly benefit researchers and clinicians seeking more reliable brain stimulation protocols.
