Thomas Platz teaches as professor for neurorehabilitation at the Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University Greifswald, Germany and is medical director of the BDH-Klinik there with its neurorehabilitation centre and spinal cord injury unit. His main scientific interest is recovery of function after brain damage. He leads the guideline committee of the German Neurorehabilitation Society (DGNR) and the educational committee of the World Federation of Neurorehabilitation (WFNR).

“The book is potentially useful to clinicians who provide care for people with neurological conditions, including physicians in neurology, neurosurgery, and physical medicine and rehabilitation, in addition to professionals in rehabilitation disciplines and psychology. … offers a useful, comprehensive but relatively succinct review of the mechanisms and applications of repetitive transcranial stimulation for a variety of neurological conditions. … authors have done an admirable job of summarizing existing knowledge and creating a platform for understanding future research in this field.” (Elliot J. Roth, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2016)
