Biography
Dr Nahian Chowdhury is a Research Fellow at NeuRA, Conjoint Lecturer at UNSW, and Head of Neurostimulation at the NeuroRecovery Research Hub. His work uses non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS, rTMS) and TMS–EEG to understand neuroplastic mechanisms of chronic pain and develop biomarker-guided neuromodulation treatments.
He aims to identify EEG and TMS biomarkers that predict pain vulnerability and treatment response, enabling personalised neuromodulation therapies for chronic pain.
