In this interview, Dr Trevor Brown sits down with neurostimulation researcher Dr Aron Hill to uncover insights in neurobiology and the effects of brain stimulation.
Dr Aron Hill is an Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Cognitive Neuroscience Unit, School of Psychology, Deakin University. He received a PhD in neuroscience from Monash University in 2018 and has since undertaken postdoctoral training at the Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre in Melbourne, and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, University of Toronto, Canada. Aron’s research aims to explore the neurobiology of complex psychiatric disorders, with particular emphasis on understanding neural circuits linked to cognitive dysfunction and aberrant neural plasticity. To achieve this aim, Aron’s work combines physiological measures of brain activity (e.g., electroencephalography [EEG]) with non-invasive brain stimulation technologies (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation [TMS] and transcranial electrical stimulation [tES]). Through these multi-modal approaches, Aron aims to uncover important brain-behaviour relationships leading to novel diagnostic markers, as well as potential treatment targets for therapeutic interventions.

About
neurocare brings the world of neuroscience into clinical practice. We educate professionals worldwide in the correct use of rTMS, tDCS, Neurofeedback and other emerging techniques, and share the latest knowledge and updates as well as the history of these digital therapeutics. Neuroscientist Dr Trevor Brown, who features on the neurocare LMS, an online training platform, connects with leading researchers each month as part of a new interview series to discuss present and future clinical applications of neurostimulation techniques (e.g. TMS, tDCS) as well as exploring the use of EEG and Neurofeedback in clinical and research settings.
