Led by Dr. Flavio Frohlich, UNC researchers with the Carolina Center for Neurostimulation have turned a theory of how brain circuits can be restored into promising clinical trials for treating schizophrenia, depression, and chronic pain.

This research has led to the successful start-up company Pulvinar Neuro, which seeks to commercialize noninvasive brain stimulation as a means to treat mental illness.

This multi-phase project was funded by several grants from the Foundation of Hope.
