Tommaso Fadini

About

Tommaso Fadini is a pioneering researcher in the field of neuroimaging and non-invasive brain stimulation, with a particular focus on the development and clinical application of robot-assisted transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technologies. His most influential work centers on robotized, image-guided TMS systems that enable precise functional mapping of the motor cortex — a critical advancement for neurosurgical planning, where individual variation in cortical organization demands highly accurate localization techniques. Fadini's 2009 clinical pilot study on robot-assisted image-guided TMS for somatotopic motor cortex mapping has garnered 73 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field. His comparative investigation of the H-coil's induced electric field properties, with 41 citations, further demonstrates his expertise in TMS coil design and optimization. His earlier 2008 work on brain-mapping using robotized TMS helped lay the methodological groundwork for what has become a growing area of clinical neuroscience. Collectively, Fadini's contributions have helped bridge the gap between non-invasive brain stimulation and surgical precision, offering clinicians a reliable, patient-specific alternative to direct cortical stimulation for pre-operative functional mapping.
