Researcher · Vienna–Toronto collaboration
Maria Vasileiadi investigates language networks using fMRI, neuronavigated TMS and chronometric interleaved TMS-fMRI. Her work brings together psychology, cognitive neuroscience and linguistics to study when and where stimulation changes language processing.
She contributes to the group’s Vienna–Toronto collaboration and works as a postdoctoral fellow at Sunnybrook’s Harquail Centre for Neuromodulation.
