Upcoming Neuromodulation Event
Workshop
Sunday, February 23, 2025 at 9 AM - 4:30 PM (Local Time) | Kobe, Japan
Room#: Room 301 - International Conference Room
The workshop will cover the most recent experimental and modeling results on the cellular mechanisms of brain stimulation mechanisms. The workshop focuses on the latest concept and recording/analysis tools characterizing cell and network response to brain stimulation, and new computational modeling techniques. Concepts are relevant to all forms of non-invasive (e.g., TES, tDCS, tACS, TMS) and in invasive (e.g., direct electrical stimulation, DBS, invasive magnetic stimulation) electrical stimulation. Translational aspects including dose optimization based on individual imaging and recording, pulse shape optimization, plasticity induction, and novel cellular targets such as vascular stimulation. The workshop will also address advanced brain ultra-structure and imaging techniques as they provided new data for understanding brain stimulation mechanisms and modeling.
Lunch and coffee breaks will be provided, with priority for those who RSVP. The workshop is free to all Brain Stimulation Conference registrants, but space is limited so RSVP is strongly encouraged to ensure your spot. The workshop is open to participants of all backgrounds though geared to those interested in cellular techniques, modeling, and signal processing. This is the only non-industry sponsored workshop the day before the Brain Stimulation main program. Participants are welcome to review the complete program and may decide to attend only a portion of the workshop and/or move between this workshop and parallel industries sponsored workshops. Attendees are welcome to arrive before the program (~8 AM) or stay after the program (4:30 PM) for pre/post conference networking. However, no refreshments will be provided at these times.
