Julio C. Hernandez Pavon, PhD, DSc
About Me
Dr. Julio C. Hernandez-Pavon is currently a Research Scientist at the Shirley Ryan ³Ô¹ÏÌìÌÃ91 and Northwestern University in Chicago, USA. He holds two doctoral degrees, a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering from Aalto University, Finland, and a second Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Guanajuato University, Mexico. He received his Master¡¯s degree from the University of Guanajuato (Mexico) in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his Bachelor¡¯s degree from the University of Veracruz (Mexico).
Dr. Hernandez-Pavon is an expert on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electroencephalography (EEG). His research includes cortical excitability, brain connectivity, cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS), and peripheral nerve stimulation. He is interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms of brain connectivity for conducting basic and clinical research. He is also interested in motor and language disorders and developing new therapies for post-stroke patients and patients with Parkinson¡¯s disease.
