Episode 4 of “ReTuneIn”: Building the Digital Foundations of Modern Brain Research
In the fourth episode of the ReTune podcast “ReTuneIn”, Prof. Petra Ritter and Prof. Philipp Böhm-Sturm discuss how computational modeling and experimental imaging can be combined to advance neuromodulation research.
Prof. Ritter brings a human centered perspective through her work on large scale computational brain models that simulate neural dynamics and support the development of individualized treatment strategies. Her research focuses on creating digital tools that link brain structure, function and behavior to better understand how stimulation influences whole brain networks.
Prof. Böhm-Sturm complements this approach with his expertise in high resolution MRI and animal models. His work provides mechanistic insights that cannot be obtained in humans, offering a controlled framework to validate hypotheses and refine computational predictions. Together, Ritter and Böhm-Sturm explore how integrating human and animal data can help accelerate the development of ethical and efficient neuromodulation paradigms.
Episode 4 provides a look at the digital and experimental infrastructure that underpins ReTune’s interdisciplinary work. The conversation highlights how collaboration, simulation and shared resources support a deeper understanding of movement disorders and the future of data driven neuromodulation.
