Following this path, Alberto was then involved in various projects relating to non-invasive brain stimulation and sleep disorders in orofacial pain populations at Université de Montréal with Gilles Lavigne and Louis De Beaumont. Afterwards, he joined the Department of Experimental Medicine at McGill University to begin his Ph.D. with Marc O Martel and Gilles Lavigne, where he is working on transcranial magnetic stimulation to manage pain and opioid problematic outcomes in participants with temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
