Séamus O'Sullivan

In the summer of 2023, Séamus was awarded an HRB summer scholarship grant for a project in the McMackin Lab investigating the effect of muscle contraction on transcranial magnetic stimulation-derived measures of brain function. He later rejoined the lab to complete his final-year project as a Neuroscience undergraduate at Trinity College Dublin, using electroencephalography to investigate neural language network dysfunction in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and how this may relate to cognitive impairment. Séamus' research interests are in neural data analysis, and the clinical applications of electrophysiology, such as the development of biomarkers for improved diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
