Andrea Antal

About

Dr. Andrea Antal is a leading figure in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation, with her research fundamentally shaping how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied in both healthy and clinical populations. Her most impactful contribution is co-authoring the definitive safety guidelines for TMS, a work that has garnered over 1,480 citations. These consensus-based recommendations, developed under the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, provide the critical framework for ethical and regulatory standards in TMS research and therapy worldwide. Beyond safety, her work explores the mechanisms of neuroplasticity and the optimization of stimulation protocols for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders. By establishing the benchmarks for responsible use, Dr. Antal has not only advanced the scientific rigor of the field but also paved the way for translating TMS from the laboratory into safe, effective clinical practice. Her guidelines remain an essential reference for any researcher or clinician working with brain stimulation.
