Abstract:
Academy of Finland Professor Risto Ilmoniemi is Professor of Applied Physics at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Computational Science at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland. He is also one of the world's leading experts in MEG and TMS techniques. Professor Ilmoniemi is presently working to develop completely new brain imaging methods, the most ambitious of which is simultaneous MEG and MRI (see www.megmri.net for more information). He and his research group are also involved in developing other cutting-edge brain imaging and neuroscience research methods including TMS and NIRS. Their work aims to pave the way to new and highly effective methods for diagnosis and treatment of several serious brain-related diseases, including stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, depression, and even tinnitus. Ilmoniemi's research has industrial value since its ultimate goal is to develop new instruments with commercial applications (e.g. www.nexstim.com).
Professor Ilmoniemi is a member of MedTech West’s Scientific Advisory Board.
