About
Felipe Fregni is a prominent neuroscientist and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of non-invasive brain stimulation, neurorehabilitation, and emerging neurotechnologies. Best known for his foundational contributions to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), Fregni has helped shape the evidence base for its clinical application across neurological and psychiatric disorders — work reflected in his landmark 2020 evidence-based guidelines paper, which has garnered an impressive 592 citations and stands as a key reference for researchers and clinicians worldwide. A significant thread running through his research is the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury, where he has pioneered the combination of tDCS with robotic gait training and explored beta-band oscillations as potential biomarkers of motor recovery. His use of functional near-infrared spectroscopy to assess real-time brain responses during robot-assisted gait demonstrates his commitment to integrating multiple cutting-edge modalities in clinical investigation. More recently, Fregni has expanded his scope to include haptic technology, probing its underexplored therapeutic potential. Across his career, his work has consistently bridged rigorous clinical trial methodology with translational innovation, making him an influential figure for students and researchers seeking to advance neurorehabilitation science.
