Message from the IFCN President
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Professor Ying-Zu Huang in Taiwan at the early age of 55 after a chronic illness.
Prof. Ying-Zu Huang contributed many publications to Clinical Neurophysiology and was particularly well-known for his contributions to non-invasive neurostimulation. His extraordinary PhD work, published in 2005 as a paper in Neuron, described the technique of theta burst stimulation (TBS), a rapidly repeated pattern of stimulation which leads to transient changes in brain plasticity. Unlike other forms of plasticity-inducing protocols, TBS is rapid and relatively painless and …

Volume 4 (2019) (Open access)
Clinical Neurophysiology Practice (CNP) is a new Open Access journal that focuses on clinical practice issues in clinical neurophysiology including relevant new research, case reports or clinical series, normal values and didactic reviews. It complements Clinical Neurophysiology which focuses on innovative research in the specialty. It has a role in supporting established clinical practice, and an educational role for trainees, technicians and practitioners.
