Introduction to Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Delegate rate: £30-£200

28 – 29 November 2024, 09:00

Join us for a comprehensive two-day workshop on an Introduction to Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS), in Cardiff, UK. This workshop is designed for researchers and students who are interested in exploring the fundamentals and applications of cutting-edge NIBS techniques.

Over the course of the workshop, participants will dive deep into three key NIBS methods:

  • Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS)
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
  • Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES)

 

Each session will include theoretical lectures, offering you a unique opportunity to gain foundational knowledge and experience with topics such as:

  • Gain an understanding of the core principles and mechanisms behind Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES).
  • Explore the safety considerations for each technique, ensuring responsible and effective use.
  • Sessions introducing these techniques, including TUS equipment setup, TMS coil positioning, and tES protocol administration.
  • Delve into the advanced integration of NIBS with neuronavigation.
  • Discuss the ethical and safety considerations crucial to conducting NIBS research, with a focus on maintaining high standards of practice.

 

The sessions will be lead by industry experts from Cardiff University and Brainbox: 

  • Professor Mara Cercignani, 
  • Dr Jen Davies, 
  • Dr David McGonigle, 
  • Dan Phillips, 
  • Soffía Cahill, 
  • Callum Charman, and 
  • Mark Crawley. 

 

Please note that the workshop will be held from 28th-29th November, 2024. The exact schedule and session timings will be provided closer to the workshop date.
