Reflection: My time at Black Dog Institute has been an enriching and rewarding experience. Black Dog Institute is a leading research institute in Australia focused on mental health and the understanding of mood disorders, particularly depression. During my stay, I am collaborating on several exciting projects. One of them focuses on sensory stimulation, where we apply TMS, visual, and auditory stimulation to enhance memory function. Another project involves investigating the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and TMS in mental health. It’s inspiring to work alongside experts in the field and contribute to research that has the potential to improve treatments for mental health conditions. I look forward to continuing to learn and collaborate on these groundbreaking projects.
