Shahid BashirDr. Shahid Bashir is currently working as a Neuroscientist at the King Fahad Specialist Hospital - Dammam. He received his PhD from the University of Freiburg. Dr. Bashir’s research focus is in establishing cortical plasticity biomarkers using non-inasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in combination with electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG). Currently his research revolves around enhancing the concepts of synaptic plasticity in normal individuals either with or without pharmacological interventions. The use of such biomarkers holds special promise for better understanding the pathophysiology behind diseases like TBI and aging. He is also interested in combining navigated TMS with brain imaging to explore cross-modal plasticity following brain lesions. Read More Read Less
