Dr Divya Adhia is a Research Fellow at the Department of Surgical Sciences, Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago.

She is an early career researcher with specific interests in the identification of cortical targets using electrical activity of the brain (EEG) and its treatment using neurofeedback and non-invasive neuromodulation [transcranial current and magnetic stimulation (TCS,TMS)] techniques in a variety of disorders with thalamocortical dysrhythmia (Chronic Pain, Alzheimer’s disease, Stroke, Tinnitus, and Depression, Reward-Deficiency syndromes).

Dr Adhia has been awarded the HRC Emerging Researcher First Grant for exploring novel non-invasive neuromodulation paradigms for treatment of chronic low back pain.
