Neuromodulation Technology
Adam Williamson, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
adam.williamson@fnusa.cz
Adam Williamson has been working at the International Clinical Research Center (ICRC) since 2023.
He received a bachelors and masters in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University, USA, and obtained his doctorate at the Technical University of Ilmenau, Germany. Previously, he served as research scientist at the Institute of Neuroscience (INS), a part of Inserm at Aix-Marseille University (AMU) in France. He is a recipient of 6 European Research Council (ERC) grants.
His research focuses on in vivo applications of new electronic devices and methods of brain stimulation.
In 2024, he brought his ERC Consolidator grant to the International Clinical Research Center of the Faculty Hospital St. Anne and the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University. The grant specifically focuses on non-invasive deep brain modulation using Temporal Interference to control epileptic brain activity in drug-resistant patients suffering from Epilepsy.

Research Objectives
Treatment of Epilepsy Using Neuromodulation with Non-Invasive Temporal Interference Stimulation
Adam Williamson’s team is investigating non-invasive temporal interference stimulation as a novel neuromodulation approach for treating epilepsy. The goal is to develop a viable and effective therapeutic intervention that can reduce seizure frequency and improve the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy.
