Prof. Sackeim also directs programs in the pharmacological treatment of late-life depression and in the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). He is the originator of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST), now undergoing clinical trials in the US and Europe, and has recently developed FEAST (Focal Electrically-Administered Seizure Therapy) and FEAT (Focal Electrically-Administered Therapy), new forms of brain stimulation modalities in neurological and psychiatric conditions. Prof. Sackeim has received many national and international awards for his research contributions. He is past President of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and the Association for Research in Nervous and Mental Disease. He has authored more than 350 publications.
