Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation Toolkit
Where: Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour at Radboud University
When: 11-13 June, 2025
We're thrilled to announce an upcoming workshop ran in collaboration with the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour at Radboud University!
This 3-day course will provide you with in-depth knowledge about the non-invasive brain stimulation technique Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS).
In this Toolkit we will discuss physics, biomechanisms, protocols, study design, confounds, and effects on connectivity, plasticity, and circuits. The course is focused on hands-on training, catering to a wide diversity of expertise.
The in-person training is complemented by online educational videos. We recommend all attendees engage with the online course material prior to the Toolkit: https://training.incf.org/collection/non-invasive-brain-stimulation-nibs-physics-neuromodulation-clinic. For this workshop, we recommend watching courses 1 to 4.
Each day will start with informative lectures that provide an overview of the fundamental concepts, followed by practical training and demonstrations.
On the third day (Friday, June 13th), we will host a TUS symposium featuring presentations by leading experts from around the world. These talks will showcase the latest advancements in the field.
