Overview

A hands-on satellite workshop equipping researchers with the knowledge and skills to use temporal interference (TI) stimulation, which enables noninvasive modulation of deep brain structures that previously required neurosurgery.

The workshop aims to support high-standard use of TI in human research and in the development of clinical therapies, through interactive lectures, hands-on practice and open discussion.

Who it's for: research professionals who use, or plan to use, TI stimulation in translational brain research.

What you'll learn

Session 1

Fundamentals

  • Principles of electrical neural stimulation
  • Pulse TI, pulse-width-modulation TI and multi-polar TI
  • Biophysical mechanisms and evidence

Lecture and waveform simulation practice

Session 2

Equipment

  • Transcranial TI hardware needs: current drive, bandwidth and channel isolation
  • EEG and LFP recording during stimulation
  • MRI safety and artifact mitigation

Lecture and equipment testing practice

Session 3

Deployment

  • Planning the stimulation locus through electrode configuration and current ratios
  • Step-by-step human setup
  • Documentation for reproducibility

Lecture and TI planning and setup practice

Session 4

Applications

  • A framework for developing TI therapies
  • Ongoing therapy efforts
  • Lessons from other brain stimulation methods

Short lectures and panel discussion
