TITLE
Driving auditory working memory with information-based neuromodulation
ABSTRACT
A large number of studies have used non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) to enhance working memory functions in humans. However, the outcomes have been considerably variable and the neurophysiological mechanisms by which these methods work, or why they sometimes fail, remain largely unknown.
I will present our recent studies showing that NIBS interventions can be optimized/personalized, by defining and using stimulation parameters that match functionally relevant brain activity (information-based NIBS). I will first present a set of neuroimaging studies (MEG, fMRI) in typical individuals and in congenital amusia that aimed to define the cortical networks and brain dynamics supporting auditory short-term and working memory for speech and music. Second, I will show how these brain dynamics can be modulated through the entrainment of brain oscillations (rhythmic fluctuations of brain activity) with frequency tuned NIBS. I will conclude by showing that brain oscillations are pertinent signal targets for NIBS interventions and that the combination of information-based NIBS and longitudinal behavioral intervention (such as cognitive training) is a promising procedure to enhance auditory working memory abilities in humans.
