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.
