Dr Nahian Chowdhury is a Research Fellow at NeuRA, a Conjoint Lecturer at UNSW and the Head of Neurostimulation at the NeuroRecovery Research Hub at UNSW.  He is also a registered psychologist with AHPRA.   He completed his Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2017, and PhD in 2020. Nahian’s research focuses on the use of Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephalography (EEG) to understand the brain mechanisms that contribute to the percept of pain. His goal is to identify brain biomarkers for pain that can be used diagnostically or which can be used as targets for treatments. His research also focuses on developing novel approaches in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (repetitive TMS, transcranial direct current stimulation) for the treatment of pain.
