dr. C.E. Evans (Carys) PhD

I am a researcher across the Donders Institute, with a Neuromodulation Staff Scientist position at the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging (DCCN), and serve as institute consultant on focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS) as part of the FUS Center.

Research:
My research investigates how non-invasive brain stimulation, particularly transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), modulates deep brain structures and large-scale brain networks, and how these effects translate to changes in cognition and behaviour. My work spans the human motor system in health and following stroke, decision-making, visual processing, and mood. I primarily use TMS, tDCS, and TUS as research tools.

Support:
I offer expertise across a range of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS/tACS). Among other things, I advise on experimental design and stimulation protocols, as well as on integrating brain stimulation with complementary neuroimaging methods such as MRI and EEG.
