Luisina Gregoret received her undergraduate and postgraduate education on Biomedical Engineering at University of Entre Rios (FI-UNER), Argentina. She started her early research experience on stress-induced cardiovascular alterations on healthy individuals. Her main fields of interest are advanced signal processing and pain neuroscience.

Her current projects investigate the modulatory effects of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) through transcranial direct current sitmulation (tDCS) during prolonged experimental pain. The assessments are performed through electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG) and psychophysical measures. Such analyses will increase the understanding of pain-related neuroplasticity by means of cortical reorganization, corticospinal excitability and descending pain mechanisms and the way mechanism-based tDCS could further promote advantageous neuroplasticity. Specifically, the focus is placed upon the influence of tDCS of the left motor cortex and regions linked to the resting state motor network (network-tDCS). Her first PhD study demonstrated that network-tDCS normalizes the corticomotor consequences and impaired descending inhibitory pathways elicited due to prolonged pain. Her current study explores the potential link between brain oscillations and the response to tDCS during prolonged pain. The results of her studies can potentially improve current therapeutic non-invasive protocols through characterizing the role played by relevant brain networks in the processing and integration of nociceptive and painful stimuli.
