About
Hartwig R. Siebner is a leading figure in human brain stimulation and systems neuroscience, whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of cortical plasticity and its modulation. His research integrates transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with neuroimaging to probe the dynamic organization of the human motor and cognitive systems. A major contribution is his leadership in establishing the international safety and ethical guidelines for TMS, most notably the 2021 expert consensus paper (11 citations), which provides the essential framework for safe application in both healthy subjects and patient populations. Siebner’s impact is also defined by his pioneering studies on how TMS can induce long-term potentiation- and depression-like plasticity in the human brain, and his work on the role of the dopaminergic system in modulating these effects. As a professor at the University of Copenhagen and a former director at the Berlin Neuroimaging Center, his research has garnered thousands of citations, influencing clinical neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation. His achievements include numerous awards and a central role in the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, cementing his status as a key architect of modern non-invasive brain stimulation research.
